S&P Lunch

Dating Profile

No-fuss lunch counter giving Flatiron a slice of old-school New York deli culture

Flirty Factor

There’s nothing fancy about S&P Lunch, which is exactly why we love it. The team behind Court Street Grocers revitalized the historic space that has housed iconic sandwich shops since 1929, preserving the same vinyl stools and long counter where the waiter will slide over the mouth-watering tuna melt you just ordered.

Home to inventive vegetarian dishes by Chef Jean-Georges

Flirty Factor

The crisp, spacious room with pink accents at abcV is perfect for a girls’ brunch. But what we love the most about this plant-forward spot is that Jean-Georges isn’t trying to make vegetables into “cheese” or “meat.” From the dreamy dosa to whole-roasted cauliflower, he masters the art of simplicity by presenting vegetables in a flavorful, fun and filling manner that eliminates the misconception of vegetables being boring.
