NYC Lunch suggestion for visitor?

I'm looking for suggestions for a quirky or special, lower cost lunch place in NYC, Chambers to 14 Street, West Side. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks

It's Restaurant Week in NYC, yesterday through August 14th. Google it or go to Open Table for a list. We just had a great 3-course lunch for $25 per person at The Gander, 15 W 18th St. The atmosphere was only so-so, but some of the food on the limited menu was delicious and unusual. (I believe that all of the NYC Restaurant Week Lunches are 3-course $25 pre fixe). By the way, the wine list was quite impressive and overpriced.

Thanks too! Keep suggestions coming.

Try Colicchio and sons. Its right across from Chelsea market.

Do Hwa is a Korean restaurant on Carmine, very near the Houston St. stop on the 1. Haven't been there for lunch, but it's good food, nice cocktail menu, and a cool vibe.

Thanks Hank (and everyone else). Haven't decided, so keep suggestions coming.

Thanks everyone. Bc it is restaurant week, I decided I will save the great suggestions for lower cost for another day and so Thursday we are going to the Gander on Jasmo's suggestion. Thanks again robi

I love La Laterna in the West Village, near NYU. Great lunch place--reasonable prices, everything I have had there is good (dessert is great), and it has a cool garden room:
