The link didn’t show up but I know what’s around there and the only other worthwhile spot on that side of the street is Five Guys.

Here’s the place on Goggle maps. I believe that’s Tuscany under the scaffolding and the restaurant I was referring to it’s right.

As for other midtown spots, I’ve been crass up until this point and would only be able to offer common fast food joints. But both my pinkie and my chin are turning up thanks to you.

Glad to hear you enjoyed Tuscany. Check out the cookies in the back, the ones cooling in the racks. If they have chocolate chip and theyre fresh, spend the dollar for one of them. If you ask the cashier nicely and no one else is around, she may give you 2 for a dollar. They’re worth it. You must have arrived at the height of lunchtime if you were dodging people up front, I usually waltz in around 1pm and never have a problem.

So the crowded place you walked by, what did it look like? Was it Five Guys Burgers and Fries? If so, I love that place. Let me know if you find out which place it was.

Have you found any other good Midtown spots?

While looking for the place, I saw a store that happened to be next door to it that was packed. At first, I thought it was the place but saw the name and moved on. I was in a rush and didn’t get to see what that store was but busy it was. I have to see what all the fuss was about.
