If I am able to get out of the office when I’m in NYC I like to grab something that I can bring back with me that is at least moderately healthy. Fortunately there is a chain in NYC called Pret a Manger, which happens to have a location across from my office and no shortage of healthy choices.
I have to admit that of all the sandwiches I’ve tried my favorite is the brie, basil and tomato baguette. The bread is always fresh and the combination of the creamy brie alongside the tomato and basil is delicious. Listed below are some pictures from my latest visit. Feel free to click on the images to enlarge.
Something else I like about Pret a Manger is that they donate whatever food doesn’t sell at the end of the day to an area charity to help those who are hungry and to ensure you are only purchasing freshly made items. If you need something to “grab and go” for breakfast or lunch and you are in NYC, Chicago or DC check out Pret a Manger.

J’adore Prêt à Manger!!!
Discovered them at their Trafalgar Square location in London.
Can’t wait for them to expand in the U.S.

I didn’t know these were still around. I believe they were once owned by McDonalds (yes, that McDonalds) and sold off. I’ve only seen them in NYC, but enjoyed picking up a bite there, but never stumble across them anymore when I’m in the city.

I always grab a bite at Pret when in NYC. I believe it’s a London-based chain. I’d love to see one (or perhaps a Dean and Deluca) occupy some of the empty space that used to be Borders or Filene’s Basement in Back Bay.
