3 Custom Lunch Stops for Workdays
Compare fruit bowls, made-to-order sushi, and salads or grain bowls across three weekday options. Several sit below street level, one offers a hot salmon alternative, and Friday service ends earlier at the salad spot.
Weekday Food Options
Lower-Level Workday Stop
Inside 1 New York Plaza, finding this kosher counter from ground level sometimes takes a quick ask for directions. It serves customizable acai bowls and a milder, less-sweet pitaya option. Toppings include fresh berries, honey, and Nutella. The menu also includes cold brew sweet cream coffee and smoothies. Some indoor seating is available for a sit-down break. The counter is open Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM, and closed Saturday and Sunday.
New York Plaza Midday
At 1 Water St, MakiMaki Sushi builds maki and temaki to order at a Financial District counter. A patented wrap keeps the nori crisp. Handrolls run two to three dollars less than cut rolls. Grilled salmon rice bowls offer a hot alternative, and daily specials can trim the price. Wooden plates and a calming soundtrack give the counter a touch of ceremony. The counter serves Monday through Friday, 11:00 AM to 4:00 PM.
Build-Your-Own Midday Fare
The basement food court at 1 New York Plaza houses Chopt Creative Salad Co., a fast-casual option for workday meals. Custom salads, wraps, and grain bowls come in generous portions, with 18 scratch-made dressings to choose from. A Southwestern wrap brings sweet-spicy sauce, while a Greek salad adds feta and pita chips. App pre-ordering can help with the desk-lunch rush. Service runs Monday through Thursday, 10:30 AM to 4:00 PM, and Friday until 3:00 PM.
