"It’s always stressful to choose a spot for lunch with people who either sign your checks or sign checks to your company, and it’s even more stressful when you don’t know anything about their likes and dislikes. Fortunately, you can just make a reservation at The National, an American spot that will please just about everyone. The space in the Benjamin Hotel is fancy, but not overly expensive, and the menu ranges from entree-sized salads or a lamb burger to filet mignon. And perhaps the most useful thing about it is that it’s just a few blocks from Grand Central." - hannah albertine, bryan kim, matt tervooren
