Profile

Blake & Todd acts as the refined counterpart to counter-service competitors like Pax and Au Bon Pain by offering sandwiches on artisanal bread, brick-oven pizza, and hot entrées like grilled salmon with dill sauce. And while ingredients like leeks and portobello mushrooms can add flair to your simple slice and gourmet flourishes like filet mignon can doll up your salad greens, you’ll still be downing it all with plastic utensils on throwaway plates under fluorescent lights. Although both midtown locations have spacious seating areas, the cafeteria-style tables for four fill up fast, especially at lunch. Be prepared to share your space with tray-toting strangers. — Alexis Korman
