Remember pre-Covid, when Dishes on East 45th St. was packed everyday at lunchtime? Sad. Place is dead.

Which day was this? It is kind of the thing now end of the week. Most people work from home.

Lots of people WFH today because of Halloween. I saw a lot more people in the office on Monday.

I’m not going to be nostalgic for mediocre Midtown hot bars.

Holy crap. Haven’t been there in years bc of how packed and chaotic it always was. That’s nuts

The place is dead because they jacked up their prices. I got serious sticker shock the last time I went

It’s a beautiful day and Halloween. There’s less people at all the lunch spots

They used to have trays and trays of sushi rolls on Fridays. They couldn’t keep them full fast enough.

All the bowl places are packed though (cava/naya/chipotle/dos toros/sweetgreen/etc)

It was great 15 years ago, was it still great as recently as “pre-covid”?

I didn’t realize they were still open. Half of my office used to go there everyday but we moved across town. I do miss their bacon and french toast

Omg yes I walked by the other day and remembered vividly when it was the hot new spot. They had a great BLT.

Way to expensive for what it is

Their prices went waaaaaaaay up.
I love those orange roasted sweet potatoes but not as $27 a pound.

Sushi roll Fridays at Dishes was epic pre pandemic.

Their soups and chili were pretty good. The one at 53rd was crowded still about a year ago or so. Haven’t been back since moving jobs.

Quality food. Think they jacked it up to like 18-19 a pound. Can’t go anymore.

Prices are nuts now. Used to be a nice expensive treat but now it legit costs restaurant money.
Anyone remember that period they randomly decided to serve half off sushi though?

I used to work across the street from this location!! I thought dishes went out of business. I miss it so much!! Nostalgia at its finest

I don’t understand why anyone would be yearning for the golden age of Dishes…

My favorite expensive lunch buffet when I worked in NYC was City Bakery in Chelsea. I still remember the food, 15 years later… the chilled white fish with mustard sauce, the kale salad with hazelnuts, the cabbage slaw, and their pretzel croissants with mini hot chocolate. Sadly it closed during cofid I believe. Tbt, that place was fire.
