Au Bon Pain Cafe Bakery

Don't take amex. But people are really friendly

Its best to place your order online and pick it up. Sandwiches are made by order so going there and standing in line wastes lunch time. The turkey & avocado sandwich on ciabatta is fantastic! I usually get mine toasted. It cost $9. You can purchase a half or whole sandwich.

This is an out of the way restaurant on the usually busy Concourse of the Empire State Plaza. To find it head up the corridor toward Agency Core One (opposite the Corning Tower). Try the soup bar or the grill. The Country Grilled Cheese is out of this world.

Good stop for a quick meal or snacks. This place is situated underground on the concourse of the Empire State Plaza and there are no signs for it (or the other food places) from the ground level. Just follow the signs for the concourse and you'll end up here like we did.
