Reply to comment by Little_Noodles in Good place for a "business friendly" lunch in Fishtown? by jacksonmills

Not familiar with the other two, but Suraya can hold its own against anything in NYC. (Source: lived in Manhattan for a long time.)

Yeah, I think Suraya would work for the latter, and maybe/probably the former, so long as they’re not the type to be scared of food they haven’t had before, or be pissy about the city being complicated and expensive.

There’s a certain type of South Jersey that would go to Suraya, bitch that nothing is “a regular sandwich” and they don’t want something because it has a word they don’t know in it or whatever, complain about “how much food” you can buy for that price back at their local strip mall, and have Opinions about the way Suraya does seating.

If that’s their brand of difficult, I’d go to Murph’s

Yep. There's no helping some people, doesn't matter where you bring them. If they want a deli sandwich or a grocery store then they're perfectly welcome to that.

Suraya is overhyped tbh. But perfectly acceptable for a business lunch. Maybe Yanaga’s spot or Hook & Master

Both are good, but neither is open at lunch during the weekday.

Me, personally, I’m down for some Sulimay’s for a business lunch. If they can’t respect the Sulimay then dump em’ off a South Philly bridge

Yanaga's is top 3 sushi in the whole city for me.
