Casual Soho Lunch
Any recommendations for someplace casual to get lunch in Soho? Going to Pilates tomorrow in Tribecca with a friend, and we usually go to the West Village to have lunch. Tomorrow we're going to wander through SoHo for a bit, and we might grab a bite to eat.
Obviously we won't be dressed for a place like Balthazar, so any other lunch places would be greatly appreciated.

Rialto's good -- nice garden too. I don't like Cafe Colonial. The place looks great, but the food never tastes as good as it looks. I also recommend Cafe Habana on Elizabeth & Prince. Get the corn and the steak or the pulled pork. I like Fanelli's, but the burger was disappointing -- not cooked to correct done-ness, and the meat didn't taste fresh.
I'm also a Cafe Gitane fan. It's hard to get a seat, but most of the food is good, and it has a nice vibe.
BTW, Balthazar is fine with casual dress. If that's what's holding you back, don't worry about it. It is a lot more crowded for lunch on end-of-week days, though. -

Try Boom on Spring Street. http://www.barcrawler.com/boom.html. I've been going there for years. They're relaxed, always nice, and the food is great!

Snack is great, on thompson between prince and spring, cute little place with delicious marinated veggie and meat sandwiches, salads, etc
Once upon a tart, I think on sullivan between prince and houston--there is take out and also a cafe (I like the tomato tarte but the sandwiches are great too)
malumpos--great italian sandwiches (but only take out)
I love balthazar always
Fanelli's is great old bar/burger place
Blue Ribbon Bakery on Downing and bedford is great
Inos for panini, on bedford between downing and 6th
I'm sure I'm forgetting something
