made
with fresh vegetables and imported cheeses and meats. The crowd
is beautiful, young and loud, and can be seen spilling over into
the sidewalk, seated on the two tables outside smoking after-meal
cigarettes, and even hanging out on the steps of the near-by St.
Anthony’s church.
Kin Khao Market (179
Prince Street), located one block from the Kin Khao restaurant,
it offers take-out, special catering services, and a few tables
with sauces and chopsticks for in-house eating. Although the entrees
are priced similarly to other SoHo lunch-spots, the do-it-yourself
options are a great deal. Choose from the bar of fresh vegetables
and exotic Asian noodles, and tell the chef if you’d like it stir-fired
or steamed with chicken/beef or shrimp, in a chicken broth as a soup,
or moist with house dressing as a salad. (salads & soups are
$6.50/pound; dishes are $7.50/pound).
The ultra trendy Gourmet
Garage (453 Broome Street) offers beautiful food - everything from
organic vegetables, cheeses, meats and seafood, to flowers, nuts,
and a fully stocked in-house rotisserie. Since their coffee beans
carry exotic foreign names, and their olive oils come from at least
10 different countries, you can expect that their prices will be
higher than the ones at your standard grocery store. However, their
prepared lunches (daily made from the same selective ingredients
they carry in their store) are surprisingly cheaper than most lunch
places, with soups at $2.95, salads at $3.95, and sandwiches starting
at $3.95. One of the best-kept neighborhood secrets is the tasting
olive bar they provide in the back of the store. Tooth picks and
pit bowls are provided for you to sample the international selection
of olives, diverse in color, shape and spices.
