FIG & OLIVE | Meatpacking

"Fig & Olive is a perfectly fine restaurant chain where you can get a lunch of mezze or free-range chicken in between boutique hopping. The best time to come here is during the day, when light streams into the big, breezy dining room through the floor-to-ceiling windows, and all you hear is silverware clinking and soft chatter at the bar. The food is pretty basic and priced up for the area, with sandwiches and entrees ranging from $24-$42, but if The Standard Grill is too crowded, this is the next best place around to get a piece of Moroccan-spiced salmon at 1pm." - neha talreja, bryan kim, matt tervooren
