4th street cafe.....
I just started a new job and I work downtown near Broadway and McCollough.
Sometimes I don't feel like making a lunch to take with me.I would like to know what's good to eat in the area that I can get and be back in 1 hour.
Any helpful suggestions?
4th street cafe.....
Jerry's on Commerce St.
It might be Jerry's, I forget the name, but there's a great Chicago Hot Dog place on commerce. Authentic stuff, they fly the ingredients in from Chicago. Also has italian beefs, etc.
I lived off it when I was on Jury Duty. mmmmmmm
Yeah, that's Jerry's.
Dude moved here in 1997 from Chicago, started his restaurant a few months later and makes everything himself, with help from his wife. They are truly authentic, as is almost everything else on the menu.
As someone with a family basically from Chicago and visits at least once a year, I can tell anyone who doubts it that it is indeed the real thing. I've heard he's a white sox fan, but I can ignore that because he makes great food, and he has more Cubs stuff on his walls.
There's a pretty good Vietnamese place if you follow McCullough north a little past Metropolitan Methodist, it's on the right. There's also a really good Greek place called Demos at Ashby and N St Marys.
Go down S. Alamo. Many places there.
Ain't found a way to kill me yet... eyes burn with sting and sweat.......
I'm at Sunset Station (actually St. Paul Square). Here are a few eateries from Alamo St./St. Mary's all the way up to Mulberry/Broadway area (these are the ones that popped into my head:
Mexican
Taco Haven (Presa st.) - funky mom and pop
Rosario's (alamo/ st. Mary's) - pricier than TH
Lula's (Travis St.) - mom & pop
Adrian's (Brooklyn) - mom & pop
Chula's (Mcullough) - funky mom & pop
Aldaco's (Sunset Station) - like Rosario's
El Mirador (St. mary's) - like Rosario's and Aldaco's
Asian (not a big selection)
Saigon Express (McCullough) - great Bun and Pho
China Latina (S. Alamo st) - standard combos and sushi
Sandwich places
Delivery Market (S. Alamo st.)
Sip (St. Mary's Houston) - panini
Murphy's Deli (Houston/Soledad) - more of a std. deli
Madhatter's (Beauregard/ S. Alamo) - kind of arty but good
WD Deli (Broadway) - same ad MH
Burgers, chicken fried steak, etc.
Sam's Burger Jt. (Broadway)
Good Time Charlies (Broadway)
The Lord's Kitchen - Heavenly Burgers (Carson St., I think) - you'll want to nap after lunch
I still go to most of theses places. Stay away from the Mexican Manhattan and Foccacio's.
Provecho!
You guys are great...thanks for the suggestiions!
SrA Husker and Buddy Holly, funny how y'all metion a Chicago Hot Dog place...I was born in the Chicagoland area

Anyone have suggestions for a Sushi place?
For sushi:
Sushi Zushi on Saint Mary's.

Also, to add to gameFACE's list.
Burgers, chicken fried steak, etc.
Lulu's Cafe - North Main St.
Vegetarian.
Green - North Saint Mary's.
Yeah, the Vietnamese place is the real deal. I forget the name, but my coworkers and I go every other week or so. Get the boat with the shrimp, it's great.
I work close by to you, so call if you want to do lunch some time.
Lulu's is the greatest on earth.
Fprgpt one:

Big Kahuna's - Ashby Place in Monte Vista.
But seriously, thanks to everybody who suggested places. Now I have some places to go eat before I go to work.
