$6 lunch in New York

I found out about MealPal while on Pinterest. Lunches in NYC under $6 seemed too good to resist. I sign up and a few days later was enjoying my first lunch at Reviver. The salad I ordered was enormous, delicious and was waiting for me at my desired time slot, noon- when restaurants are packed, people waste 30-40 min just to stand in the long queue. With MelPal that is not the case, you simply pick up your order, no waiting time needed. I was so glad that I only spent $6 on this salad compared to $11+ (taxes) standard price in Reviver menu.

My next choice was spot on as well. I picked Maoz- a vegetarian restaurant I passed so many times whilst in Union Square. I always passed since I am not a vegetarian and I always felt hungry when I didn’t have meat in my meal. I was really surprised how filling my meal was. I wasn’t thinking about food for at least 5 hours. I had an eggplant, egg avocado sandwich that was filled with hummus, red cabbage, Israeli salad, so delicious. I even tried to do the same at home, but it didn’t taste any close to what I got in Maoz.

1. Sign Up for either 12 or 20 meals- you will have 30 days to redeem. Note weekends are not being counted, so if you are eating out 3 times a week, 12 meals would be a good option for you. If you eat out Mon-Fri than 20 meals option will be a better choice.
2. You can always suspend or delete your account, application is really user-friendly you can quickly find where to do it.
3. Why would you suspend your account? Once you sign up then your choice will be remembered and after 30 days you will have the same plan.
