If you look to the right column of the page under “navigate” you’ll notice that I’ve created a New York category. I’ve been getting a ton of emails lately from people asking for suggestions as to where to eat/shop/etc. when in the city, so I figured it would be helpful to organize them all in one place.
On that note, the other day my friend took me to a new place for lunch – FoodParc in Midtown’s Eventi Hotel.
FoodParc is sort of like an upscale cafeteria/food court. One of the things that makes it unique is that you place your order and pay via a touch-screen computer (I’m sure my fellow Wawa lovers appreciate that ;)). While that’s definitely an interesting and fun perk to FoodParc, there are also some decent food options.
There are four different food stands – Fornetti (salads, sandwiches and pastas all served on brick oven flatbread), 3Bs (burgers, BLTs, shakes and floats), RedFarm (dim sum, dumplings, Chinese BBQ), and The Press (coffee drinks, tea, pastries and gelato).
I went with the Pesto and Grilled Vegetable salad from Fornetti, which was served atop a delicious naan-like flatbread.
It was insanely good. Let’s just say that if there was ever a reason to eat vegetables, this would be it.
FoodParc didn’t seem to be most inexpensive of places, but from my experience you definitely get your money’s worth. My salad was $9.50 but easily could’ve served as two meals (although, in this case it acted as one. I’m a growing girl, what can I say?).
While FoodParc might seem a little too techno-geek for some, I thought it was a pretty cool spot – definitely worth a shot if you’re looking to mix up your normal lunch routine.

Wow that looks great! It must be nice to be in the city and have almost unlimited food options - all different types of food.. and a price to fit (almost) everyone’s budget!
I’d pay $9.50 for that anywhere!!!
Wow, that sounds like such a fun place! What a neat idea to order with touch screens! It’s always so fun to discover new restaurants.
not a chance that thing would hold up as two servings for me. nope. no way. good call jumping into the whole thing
Hot damn that place sounds amazing! I need to get my toosh back to NYC!
Foodparc sounds like a great place to eat! I’m actually going to be visiting relatives in New York later this week, so I’ll have to figure out if we can make a pit-stop.
That salad looks delicious. That naan looks so doughy! Mmmmm…
Now that is a sammie! It’s huge, omg yummy 😀
“I’m a growing girl, what can I say?” <—- I tell myself that when I want to eat everything on my plate, too :). No shame, especially when it's vegetables on flatbread!
I’ve never been to a restaurant where you pay by touch screen! We’re still in the dark ages over here. 😉
Your salad looks amazing though! I would definitely pay $9.50 for that!

Wow, that looks soooo delicious!
Honestly I never heard of that place before but the whole touch screen/geeky thing might help me to talk my boyfriend into going there with me
The price is not even that bad considering what I usually shell out for my beloved (and enormous) whole food salad bar lunches
I’d definitely pay for that. And go there. I have so many places to add to my list for when I go home next
i’ve been DYING to get to foodparc!!!!! did you hear about the super fancy pants one in the plaza?
No! How is it fancy?! I’m intrigued…
