Better Being 940

This is my 2^nd trip to Better Being 940, and it was SO GOOD. I started with Cauliflower soup, followed by The Squashbuckler. I swear to god, it was so damn good. If this food was a person I’d make sweet sweet love to it. The people at the counter are nice too ;) GO!

Wow. Artisan skirt steak sandwich. Just get it.
Ambiance suffers from «Aircraft Hanger Sound» from the exhaust fans, but man oh man is the food good. My wife RAVED about the Salmon Salad I got for her.

yummy flavorful food! when you work in hells kitchen/​garment district you get tired of the food around here. i endlessly search grub hub for a more appetizing option that i have not had a million times. an option with flavor and chips on the side =). and than i found better being. so good. they deliver pretty fast but they have messed the order a few times. never fear they bring your correct items promptly. but because i love there sandwiches i give them 4 stars.

This place is just fantastic. A cozy little haven right near Port Authority— with really delicious food. This is very tasty and high quality food in the «farm to table» vein, although I don’t think they advertise themselves quite that way. The food is prepared with care and creativity. The menu is fantastic and varied. Tastes very homemade. One of my favorite sandwiches is called «Squashbuckler”— which makes butternut squash and kale taste wonderful. The place itself is modest and clean— the staff is really nice. For this type of «food focused» place, I have no hesitation to give them a 5 star rating.

Just had a great dinner: roasted tomato soup, kale and Brussel sprouts salad, duck confit on a bed of white beans and cauliflower, and half a chicken with creamy polenta and arugula salad. All very flavorful, fresh, and delicious. Plus, a friendly server and a chef who wanted to know what we thought of the food. We’re looking forward to our next meal here.

Had the octopus was delicious. Was cooked perfectly. Just thought the place was very cute. Not a first date place but a place I would eat at a few times a week. Just was satisfied with how cute and delicious the food is. Keep it up and also love the new dinner menu. I give this place top stars. I wish they still did dinner.

This place is fantastic! My office recently moved to this neighborhood and we’ve been looking for gems like this one. We’ve tried them for both lunch and bfast. They were able to manage a large order and deliver quickly. Everything on the menu was fantastic. (I think we pretty much ordered one or two of each item). Looking forward to trying them for catering as well.

Better Being is delicious! It’s a bit hidden, I had to walk back a block to find it but it’s a really cute location. All the staff are friendly and very attentive. Food is fresh, colorful, and different. Amazing combinations and options — Definitely going back for brunch!

Cute place, love the flowers. Great sandwiches!!! You didn’t even notice it from the street, which is probably a good thing. Wish they had more vegetarian sandwiches, but they do have other veg options. The food was delicious!!!

Food is all right. Didn’t care for the scrambled egg wrap. $ 13.00 for avocado and toast seems a bit ridiculous. Probably won’t come again because I can find smashed avo and toast much cheaper elsewhere, or I can make it myself…

The sandwiches here are just heavenly. I used to frequent their West Village location, but alas had to part ways when my office moved. Much to my delight, I recently learned about this midtown location and it is amazing as I remember. The Squashbuckler is truly a lunch masterpiece. I just wish it was a smidge cheaper. But of course, that won’t keep me from returning!

I lovvvvvve this place. I don’t live anywhere nearby but anytime I’m remotely close I make it a point to drop by for lunch. Their food is a bit on the pricey side but I’m telling you, it’s worth it. Also they keep things fresh/​seasonal and their menu is constantly changing and being inspired with what ingredients they have available, which is always great.
Some of their stand out items is «The Radical Roll» which might be the best lobster roll I’ve ever had; The Greenburger herbed turkey burger with a grilled tomatillo slice and crispy leek/​potato shoestrings; and my favorite — «The Charro» which is grilled flank stank and arugula on a rosemary focaccia that is to die for. Also a good standouts are their Club sandwich and their crispy chicken sandwich which comes on a killer brioche bun. Yum!

My only complaint about this restaurant is that they aren’t open on the weekends! The food is delicious and healthy.

This place is absolutely perfect. My boss has been raving about this place for a few months now and yesterday I finally got around to trying it. We ordered the St. Luke chicken sandwich with horse radish mayo and french fries. The fries were to die for! The chicken sandwich tho… WHEW…it blew me away. I haven’t had a lunch meal like that in a very long time. Great job guys on the flavors and freshness of your cuisine. Someone finally got it right! This definitely will not be the last visit.

I live nearby and like the décor and menu at Better Being. Unfortunately the staff is horribly untrained and the quality inconsistent. Lost orders, messed up orders, and long waits are common here. Improved staffing could up their game significantly.

I’ve eaten here a few times with friends, and we have always been impressed by the inventiveness of the menu! Always something mouthwatering-​ly original and delicious to try!
However, what got me to write the review was how accommodating Shari was at Better Being when I called to have a pre-​ordered family-​style meal set-​up for a work event! Everything was on time in accordance with our very tight schedule, the food was plentiful for our budget, and it all went over so well that I got rave reviews from coworkers, when I usually don’t hear a peep. Thanks for making me look good, Better Being! I’ll be back soon!

Would never know it was there from the outside… but walk in and you are in for a treat, Its a very fun décor and the staff are very cool, We had a vegetable wrap and it was good, but was missing a burst of flavor, The soups on the other hand are top quality… had the lentil and the califlower soups and they are amazing. Prices are fine for this place and I recommend to check it out,

I work just a block away, so when I first discovered this little lunch place that promised fresh, clean food, I was thrilled. The menu items are original, flavorful, and usually fresh, and yet my coworkers and I keep having negative experiences here.
Once it was an arugula salad made with lettuce instead. Twice it was stale baguette. At some point, they stopped including chips with their sandwiches but didn’t alter the price at all (and the prices are steep for salads and sandwiches).
Better Being, we want to love you. You fill a void in the Midtown West corporate lunch scene– but lack of attention to detail is leaving me with a bad taste in my mouth.
EDIT 8÷27÷14: Today, it was mayonnaise all over the sandwich though we very explicitly requested «no mayo».

Unorganized when you call ahead for pickup, and they run out of options if you are thinking of having a late lunch. Call ahead and make sure they hear you…
For the price of these items, the service should always be on point.

Just like Better Being Underground but uptown.
They don’t really let you do substitutions with their food but they make really creative food and it’s tasty.
I think it’s a little expensive though.
