31 Union Square West

Meeting a colleague for a business lunch,we decided on the Union Square area since it was centrally located. BR Guest restaurants are consistent in their food and provide a nice atmosphere to escape from the office for an hour or so. The meal won’t be ground-breaking, but it will be good and usually served quickly. This may be an indicator that you’re food isn’t necessarily prepared for you, rather waiting for you – but they are catering to the business lunch crowd. We were seated immediately without a reservation even though the dining room was mostly filled.

Lunch:

• Seafood cobb salad with shrimp, crab and avocado (served in a deconstructed fashion)

Wine pairing:

• Sauvignon Blanc

Good for: business lunch, post-work happy hour, the seafood tower
