When you think about it, the workday lunch is actually one of the most consistent meals. You're in the same place everyday around lunchtime, and chances are, you've already exhausted almost all your take-out, delivery, and quick lunch options nearby. However, if you work Downtown, the lunch options abound, catering to all the worker-bees in finance, banking, law, the wholesale fashion and jewelry sector, and more. But sometimes, it seems like options are either a super quick bite at a typical café (or worse, fast food joint), or a full, serious sit-down lunch at a grand spot like Bottega Louie. Finding that middle-ground of a quick sit-down lunch that is of a certain quality, delicious, and not super expensive is often a much more difficult task in these parts. But we've found 2 spots Downtown, Di Alba in the Arts District and Cento Pasta Bar, that perfectly fit the bill and are guaranteed to brighten your day with their boast-worthy bites.
