Salads, sandwiches for dinner in midtown west?

[picklesister]

Looking for a mellow place to have a light bite - salads, sandwiches - with a decent ambiance, sort of a Grey Dog's vibe, in midtown west, preferable between 7th and 10th ave in the 50s, but I'm flexible... Any ideas?

No clue what "Grey Dog's vibe" is, but my usual fall-in place for great salads (with the grilled chicken added if I want a more substantial dinner) is Angelo's Pizza on 57th between 6th & 7th on the north side.

Thanks! Sorry, Grey Dog's is a great coffee shop in the Village with amazing, cheap bites and a really pleasant college-town feel to it.

despite this being an old-ish posting, for dinner last night, i ordered the Insalata di Arugula (basically a tricolore salad) and the Insalata Antipasti from Angelo's based on your reco... i added the frisee, artichoke hearts, olives, roasted red peppers, cheese & capers from the antipasti salad to the tricolore salad, chopped the entire thing and tossed it with their homemade Italian dressing... it was a FANTASTIC salad. the artichokes and the olives didn't have that canned aftertaste, and their italian dressing is delish! thanks for the reco... this will totally be my go-to midtown salad going forward!
