jury duty lunch
Ah the mix of dread of jury duty and glee for Chinatown lunches! Looks as if I'll be doing my civic duty at 111 Centre Street all week, and I want to try a new place each day. Any recommendations for fast and tasty restaurants (and favorite dishes there) in the very near vicinity would be appreciated. I know it'll be a whole lotta Chinese, but any other cuisines are welcome too. Might get sick of Chinese every single day. Thanks!

I love jury duty for the food (and I'm strangely into the civic duty aspect of things). Here's a quick cross section:
Big Wong King (Mott north of Bayard)--amazing wonton soup, especially w/ roast pork in it.
XE Lua (Mulberry south of Canal)--best pho I've had in NYC.
Pakistan Tea House (Church north of Reade)-- fresh naan and particularly good veggie options.
Farinella Pizza (90 Worth)--delicious and interesting slices of thin crust pizza as well as good coffee.
Bouley Market/Bakery (W Broadway and Duane)--sandwiches, quiche, amazing pastries, salads. Bouley Upstairs is also across the street and serves a mean burger as well as more elegant options.

re: sholli
Bouley upstairs has gone downhill recently Their sanitation is suspect, and I had to return dirty silverware the past couple of visits. I don't know if this is a temporary thing, or will be permanent, as his other places are OK. I like the Belgian place next door, which has a better burger than Bouley, and the waffles are to die for

I always liked jury duty precisely because of the great lunch neighborhood. I would recommend one of the vietnamese restaurants. There are a couple on Baxter St. and unfortunately, I don't remember their names.
By the way, these days jury duty might only last 2 or 3 days, so go to the most promising places first.
