Default Good Places for Lunch in Rittenhouse

I work in Rittenhouse and catch myself eating lunch from the same places everyday. Beyond the ones I'm about to list, does anyone else know of a good place for lunch?

Here's where I typically order from...
Grill Master Deli
Lazaros
Qdoba
Cosi
A Mandarin Place

Thumbs up

I go to Bellini Grille @ 260 South 16th Street.

Its very good and affordable.

Italian Dining at it's Finest! Here at Bellini Grill you will find only the freshest ingredients - Everything is Homemade. When you enter Bellini Grill you will feel right at home with our warm inviting atmosphere and our friendly staff. Great for an intimate dinner for two, business meetings or a family style dinner for everyone.

A few of the lunch selections at Oh So Good (19th & Market in the stock exchange) aren't bad and their sandwichs are also decent. How about MacDonalds near 18th and Walnut once in a while?

DiBruno's (I like the quiche or their salads)

Do you like Thai? - Pad Thai Shack www.padthaishack.com

The Pita Pocket (excellent - love the free salad bar!) - 218 S. 16th St
http://philadelphia.metblogs.com/200...e-pita-pocket/
http://foobooz.com/2007/12/chicken-s...e-pita-pocket/

For burgers, try Five Guys www.fiveguys.com (1527 Chestnut) - great fresh fries! I haven't tried the relatively new Good Burger which is a block from Five Guys yet.

I haven't tried Ashoka Palace (Indian, 38 S. 19th) yet so can't give a personal recommendation. I have heard mixed reviews so far but the owner is the former chef of Minar Palace and I loved Minar Palace.

I'll throw in a vote of confidence for Mama's and Pad Thai shack as well, also I'm pretty sure that Pita Pocket is closed.

Cafe Spice in the Liberty Place food court. I love their vegetarian combo.

Default Cravings

My pick would be Cravings between 19th and 20th on Chestnut.

Great slices of pizza, hoagies, chicken fingers, and fries.

Tough to beat the price too.

I believe it is between Devil's alley and the State store. It is very tiny and easy to over look but they have the water ice out front. Their pizza is actually the best around that neighborhood and is less expensive then anyone else.
