Ready To Eat

Operating on Hudson Street since 1999, this neighborhood fixture doubles as a film and television production caterer and a grab-and-go storefront. The kitchen sources its produce from local farms and greenmarkets, preparing simple dishes without preservatives or additives. The daily menu features items like lamb tagine, poached salmon, and vegetable sides of eggplant or shiitake mushrooms. While locals appreciate the convenience and outdoor tables, some note that salads can lose freshness during the day and certain dishes are served cold.
