Full...must stop!

Finding a good lunch in midtown is like finding a fat girl turning down chocolate cake, it doesn't happen. There are a few places in my area that do have a reasonable lunch offering for cheap. But after trying all of them (at least a few hundred times) I was in a quest for something different. A new place that has a cheeseburger for less than a hundred calories, ok not really. I was in search of a new salad place. Yes, true "diet" food!
For those of you who don't live in a major city, there are these amazing deli lunch places where you can create your own salad. You get a container of a leafy green, hand it over to nice gentleman behind the counter, and pick your toppings. Not being originally from New York, this was a new concept to me when I moved here 4 years ago. People don't make their own salads, craziness!
Anyways, I talked to a coworker of mine who I know enjoys a nice salad like I do. She suggested her new favorite place, Printon (I totally did my first link!). I diligently looked at their topping selections and it was quite impressive, boarding overwhelming. Cheeses, nuts, different types of chicken, olives, roasted peppers....I could go on. So, I got a bowl of romaine lettuce, added some grilled chicken, corn, mushrooms, black olives, red onion, and topped it off with some fat free lemon herb dressing (this is all Core I might add). The outcome...amazing, all I have to say is wow. I know that its only a freakin salad, but it was delish. The chicken was so good, the black olives added a nice flavor and the red onion a good kick. It was just really good tasting. So tasty it was that I almost ate the entire thing and we are talking a HUGE salad.
Yeah, I'm in pain.
