Hanger Steak at Friedmans Lunch

Although the name clearly suggests otherwise, Friedmans Lunch is open for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and brunch.  There are many delightful places to eat in Chelsea Market, and it wasn’t easy to make up my mind where to go.   Most seem to be serving fresh, homemade, natural good food.  Best of all, the big chains are not here.

But I was really pleased that I picked Friedmans Lunch.  Good simple food at reasonable prices!  I had the best streak sandwich ($12.00) I have ever had in my life.  I ordered it very rare and the hanger steak came with crispy shallots, wilted arugula on toasted ciabatta bread.  I also had beautifully made herbed french fries ($4.00) on the side.

Other tempting options on the menu included a good range of soup (two bean turkey chili, matzo ball, hearty chicken noodle, and potato leek, salads, fish tacos ($12.00), and burgers.  They also offer Lasagna ($13.00), turkey meatloaf ($13.00), and a range of loaded baked potatoes.

For dessert, you could have ricotta fritters with cherry compote ($5.00), Bourbon bread pudding, ot a flourless chocolate chunk brownie.

They have interesting reasonably priced wine, and I had an excellent Union Jack Pale Ale beer on draft.  The service was personal and attentive without someone bugging you every two minutes asking if you are happy!

Great place for lunch!  I will certainly be back.
