A hidden gem in Soho, this tiny spot serves up fresh sandwiches and salads, perfect for a quick, healthy bite while people-watching.
"The sister of the cafe on Bond Street has yummy greens to take out for lunch. Better be an early luncher to avoid the crowds!" - My Orange Box
"If you end your run in Dumbo around noon on a weekday, then you probably shouldn’t get food at Smile To Go, unless you’re OK with listening to seven different startup elevator pitches while waiting in line. Also, please let us know what your job is that allows you to go for a run across the bridge in the middle of a Tuesday. But any other time of the week, it’s a great option for a healthy takeout lunch. Get a plate of market sides, like turmeric roasted carrots or mixed vegetables with ginger dressing, and eat it across the street in Brooklyn Bridge Park." - matt tervooren
"Smile To Go has a few locations, all of which serve half-sandwiches and sides like beet salad and quinoa. Make a meal out of a few vegetables or salads, or get two sides with the house roast chicken. Everything here is pretty healthy, and service is quick. Just be aware that it’s easy to spend a lot of money if you keep ordering things that look good. As in, more than one thing." - bryan kim, matt tervooren
"Here are some of the things you’ll find at The Smile To Go: bone broth, turmeric lattes, “creative directors” wearing sunglasses inside, and girls in leather jackets who just bought some stuff at Reformation or Opening Ceremony across the street. Even if you don’t understand what any of that means, what you need to know is that this is an outpost of The Smile located on the southern end of Soho, and they serve good food throughout the day. You’ll find a bunch of different salads and grains and vegetable sides to mix and match, as well as rotisserie chicken. For a quick, simple lunch that’ll keep you full throughout the day, this is your best bet in this area." - hillary reinsberg
"A fresh, easy takeout outpost of The Smile. Come for fresh sandwiches and vegetables, stay for the highly entertaining people-watching outside. Opening Ceremony and Resurrection (the trendiest of trendy clothing stores) are across the street and make this block generally hilarious all day long." - hillary reinsberg
