I've been to the UES side version of Daily Provisions many times since it first opened. The large bowls of fresh salads, sandwiches, roast chicken, and pastries are excellently prepared. I have absolutely no complaints here. Every meal we had was first-class
The main issue with this location is that the owners of this chain completely misjudged its popularity, and almost immediately, diners and computer geeks began to swamp the few tables available, making it very difficult for long-term residents and the elderly to find seats. Early on, I recommended that those working at laptops should be precluded from the large tables; however, Daily Provisions is too small (they should have kept the original space by the former Diner, Three Guys) to accommodate everyone. I believe this will detract others from nearby businesses and the hospital, Mount Sinai, from enjoying a good lunch. On top of this seating problem, Daily Provisions does not offer delivery as of this review, which is another ding in their needs. Waiting often in a long line can be a big turn-off and thus has restricted the number of times we have eaten at their UES location. I hope management is reading this review and will act accordingly, though it will be tough to accommodate a new seating arrangements and further traffic to their eatery!!
