I say I live in Sunset Park, but really, I live at my office in Gramercy.  So here are my 10 favorite things to eat when I’m at my place of residence (in no particular order.)

1. Mike’s Coffee & Deli — a tiny hole in the wall for my breakfast.  These guys are consummate New York professionals — three guys in a tiny 8×12 space keeping track of 5, 6, 7 finicky New Yorker sandwich orders at any given moment.  Plus, it’s cheaper than any of the other places by about half ($1.50 for my egg and cheese on a roll).
2. Tiffin Wallah — lunch buffet for $7.60, my fave dishes are the palak paneer and the okra tomato.  I prefer the little pancakes to the chapati.  I refrain from seconds because that can render me completely useless in the afternoon.  When pressed for time, consider dropping in for lunch — you’d be surprised at how quickly you can be in and out of there, especially if you’re alone.
3. BCD Tofu – Soon du bu with pork, regular spicy.  Their rice is always perfect.  Love the fried mackerel you always get for free as a starter, and the oyster in the slightly sweet kimchi adds just the right amount of brine.
4. Chipotle — chicken burrito bowl, rice, black beans, tomato salsa, lettuce.  Go ahead, judge me.
5. ‘Wichcraft — olive oil poached shrimp salad over mixed greens instead of arugula.  I often need to supplement with a hard boiled egg.
6. Maoz vegetarian — Forget the falafel — their fried eggplant is a marvel of shard and goo.  That and the salty fried cauliflower from the toppings bar and I am in heaven.
7. Mandoo Bar — kimchi & tofu dumplings with pork.  Boiled.  Though it never feels like a full meal to just eat dumplings.
8. E-Mo — kimbap, usually with spicy tuna and sesame leaf, to eat on the subway.  With my hands.  Yes, I’m that person, and stop looking at me.
9. Stumptown — Soy cappuccino.  It really is the best coffee.  I wouldn’t normally trust a place so overrun with hipsters, but the coffee is unfailingly a cut above.  The espresso drinks are pretty nicely priced.
10. Kalustyan’s — California dried apricots with the right balance of tart and sweet; high turnover means they’re always moist. 

Bonus:
Best place for office birthday treats: Penelope for cupcakes or ‘Wichcraft for cookies.  We especially like the oatmeal with cream cheese frosting cookie sandwich.

Place I never eat, even though it’s super close:
Artisanal — I went there once for dinner, didn’t like it much, and seems dangerous to eat too much cheese for lunch.
