Looking for a cozy lunch spot in MidTown NYC to watch the inauguration.

January 19, 2009 9:03 AM

My wife and I would like to meet in MidTown NYC tomorrow to view the inauguration and have lunch. Suggestions?

I work on 56th Street between 8th and 9th Ave, she's available to meet anywhere. We'd like to meet for lunch and watch the inauguration together. It looks like Boulangerie (Is that the one?) on Broadway and 55th has a special, but they're a smidge on the pricey side, plus you need a reso. We're not above bar food if that bar has TV and I'd like to keep lunch plus/minus 30 bucks for the two of us.

Thoughts? Hot tips?

Looks like my wife beat us all to the punch:

Check out the Hooters between 7th and 8th on 56th. Bar food and TV's.

Seconding Hooters.

Ask for Bree's table. You'll get extra hot sauce with your buffalo wings.
