DB Bistro Moderne (55 West 44th Street, 212-391-2400)
An upscale and modern eatery with a chic Manhattan vibe is the best way to describe Daniel Boulud’s French-American restaurant. Best known for their foie-gras burger, we actually prefer some of the lighter fare (although they will split up the burger four ways so it’s worth a try), such as the Lobster Salad with fragrant pesto dressing (a match made in heaven) or the unfussy but flavorful Roasted Halibut. Simply put, a meal at DB Bistro is a great, relaxing break from a hectic workday – especially if you can add a glass of dry Chardonnay.

Salmon River (3 East 40th Street, 212-481-7887)
Besides a few notable dishes, the real specialty here is fresh and tasty fish. Salmon River is a great place to stop in for a round of delicious appetizers (Asian fish dumplings, firecracker salmon rolls, and classic crab cakes) and after-work drinks with friends and equally great for a casual business lunch. The serene atmosphere is a great backdrop for well-portioned meals at reasonable prices. Spot-hitting must-haves include:
-Salmon River Clam Chowder (creamy, but never too heavy)
-Sesame Crusted Yellowfin Tuna Big Salad (crisp and certainly big enough for one filling meal)
-Cedar Flanked Salmon (a light maple glazed gives this smoky wood-cooked fish just a hint of sweet)
-Pan Roasted Salmon (classically seared for that perfect crisp finish, served with a side of rich scallion whipped potatoes)

Dishes (6 East 45th Street, 212-687-5511 (midtown location))
This upscale cafeteria has a myriad of options for its hungry midday clientele. The superior quality of food and a noticeably clean atmosphere makes up for the dizzying amount of people, choices, and lines to make your way through. Whether you’re in the mood for a comforting bowl of soup (at least 8 daily specials that change daily), a mouth-watering warm Panini, or just a light roll of sushi, you’ll definitely find something to suit your ravenous stomach during lunchtime.
