Sigh. I go to you because you're downstairs from the job. That's where all the business is anyway. That and theater moms wanting food for their kids.
Their bagels are pretty cheap and tasty. That's where things begin and end. As a picky person, there isn't much for me to choose from.
The veggie sandwiches aren't that good.
Lately I've been wanting soup, so I've gotten their soup a few times…BE WARNED: the letters on the tag does not mean what it means everywhere else.
V= anywhere else this means vegetarian. Here, it means it contains vegetables. No duh. Most soup contains vegetables.
D= now this means it contains dairy. Okay. Thanks
Well, I got the seafood gumbo because I thought it only contained…seafood. Well 24 hours later and my body was telling me otherwise. I'm sure there was chicken stock in it because I was not feeling cute. At.All. Between that and being charged $1.00 extra for a spoonful of seafood in the bottom of my cup it definitely wasn't worth it. Thanks Pax for making me an hour late for work the next day because of my bathroom obligations.
Guess I'll actually have to walk outside for lunch if I want something palatable.
Pax is a very common place around Manhattan. While their food is typically OK, it really isn't that great. I find that whenever I get a pre-made sandwich that they have to heat up, the bread just goes stale if you don't woof it down fast. That is somewhat odd. I go to the one near my workplace and I only go sometimes out of convenience. There's better out there and especially for your wallet!! Quite a rip off, but typical NYC prices (lunch you can expect to spend at least $15).
This place does brisk business serving UCB nerds and lost tourists. The wares are fine, and the staff is better than most similar outfits in the area. You can hang out outside in the little lobby area.
/stares at the saddest and tiniest eight dolla salad ever.
/should've gone for two – one dolla slices instead.
Came here for lunch with a friend. We both ordered soup. She ordered a different soup than me but they accidentally gave her the same soup. We didn't notice that until we paid and sat down.
My friend opened the soup, looked at it, tasted it (and put the spoon aside without putting it back in the soup) and brought it back to the counter to tell them it was the wrong soup. They gave her the right soup but then they dumped her old soup back in the pot. It would unfortunately be a waste of money but they should have thrown out her old soup instead of reusing it. We will not be eating there again.
Another soup and sanwich shop around my work that screams out " OVERPRICED"! It wouldn't of been so bad if the food was a bit bigger. You're literally paying for the bread mostly since that's what you'll be tasting 90 percent of your bites. The food wasn't horrible, it just wasn't worth the money.
turkey something zesto sandwich – 6.95
small soup – 3.95
Non Taxable – 1.00
Tax – .97
~~~~~~~~~
total = 12.87
wtf is non taxable?
** oh and please give me a spoon next time so i dont' drink my soup like a beer.
You're paying a bit more for a glorified deli, which is kept clean, is in an area with VERY little quality (if any!) quick, healthy food options, attentive service, and not having to maneuver the hell of Penn Station.
Yes. Much better if you can walk out of this area for a quality deli. And it would be awesome if they had a larger selection of everything (half the place is devoted to the salad bar). But it's decent-to-good food, quick, and easy.
I was able to get a decently-sized baguette sammy, kettle chips, vitamin water, and a naked juice for just shy of $20. In this area, for this kind of place, that really isn't horrible, considering how attentive the staff were.
Dirty. No seating unless you walk into the public space of the building next door. The bathroom upstairs was a horrendous mess, and the person in it before me was an employee who didn't wash their hands.
3.95 for a Fage yogurt? Seriously?
