Light Lunch Options

For a lighter lunch, choose from our selection of seasonal salads sourced from some of the best farms around New York City. Our chefs visit the Union Square Greenmarket several times a week to select the freshest produce to put on your plate.

Opt for dishes like bright chicories tossed with blood orange, pistachios, and von Trapp blue cheese, or a frisée salad topped with Catsmo smoked trout and potato in a Dijon vinaigrette. For something more substantial, our fried hake sandwich with marinated cabbage and house hot sauce is a local lunchtime favorite.
