"Right across the street from Grand Central Market, Maccheroni Republic is a centrally located spot that’s ideal for a fairly casual pasta-filled meal. You won’t be the only person having a business lunch here, but the crowd tends to be nearby office workers rather than C-suite executives getting sloshed. They’ve got a nice little courtyard, a wide selection of pasta made daily (the agnoloti are excellent), and prices that are so affordable you won’t sweat it when your boss conveniently “forgets” the corporate card at their desk.
