This place is actually
way more appetizing than it sounds. I mean the name Lenny's doesn't
exactly say "gourmet" to me. It would be like naming a high-end dress
store "Bertha's" or a trendy club "Sid's." Luckily for all of us lunching
drones the clumsy name belies the plethora of goodness inside. Their
stock and trade is sandwiches, lots and lots of sandwiches. While
a lot of the lunch joints in the city have gone the lunch smorgasbord
route, trying to be everything to everyone, Lenny's really concentrates
on sticking meat between bread. Sure they have the requisite salad
bar, but it's more an afterthought than anything else. I went for
the teriyaki grilled chicken combo on a wrap. It had teriyaki grilled
chicken, obviously, melted fresh mozzarella, grilled onion, lettuce,
tomato and an extra spritz of teriyaki sauce to boot. The thing was
deeeeelicious--warm in all the right places, cool in others. Soft
in spots, and sometimes toothy and sometimes crunchy. It was a bonanza
of climates and topography. And then I actually realized that this
thing was going to cost me what the average Nebraskan family of five
spends on dinner at a "casual dining restaurant." Of course this is
Manhattan, where the milk, judging by the price of a quart, must flow
from golden utters. I guess at $7.99 pre-tax, it's not exactly going
to set your wallet aflame, but you could get like a really big beer
or two at Dallas
BBQ for that kind of scratch. In the meantime, I'm gonna save
my nickels and get after that wrap again soon. [MF] Other Locations: Lenny's (Rock Center) |
