Hello!
I founded MetroFresh with the notion that fresh, healthy, and creative food should not be out of reach for the casual diner. With a daily menu of soups, salads, sandwiches, breakfast entrees, “after work” small plates (Uptown), and dinner entrees (Midtown,) MetroFresh uses the freshest in-season ingredients, locally grown and organic when possible, to build unexpected flavor combinations you don’t often find at a fast-casual cafe.
Our mission has always been to create a friendly “oasis” where our guests can take a break from their hectic lives. “People are going to come for delicious, healthy food,” I told my original crew in 2005, “but they’ll come back because they had a great experience.”
You’ll notice alongside the “FOOD” below, a column of “THOUGHTS.” I’ve always believed MetroFresh would succeed because it’s a personal and communal experience. That very first day when I sent out a mass email with our daily menu, I began with a personal story about how I loved fresh food as a child. I’ve started every day after that writing down these random thoughts about food, family, and life. I’ve been doing it as a daily ritual for so many years I figure, why stop now? I hope you enjoy it. And I hope you come see us.
Mitchell Anderson, Founder and Creative Chef

It's February (but feels like March!) I secretly wish we were a little farther west and had a "weather event." Just because we haven't had a snow/ice thing in a few years and it's kind of fun to HAVE to stay home because of winter weather. Just once in a while, no? My sister Heidi said that last weekend marked the record longest New York City has gone without snow. So that's kind of... weird...
When you come in for lunch today you'll have a hard time deciding on your soup. I have both Beef Lasagna Soup (for my friends at Swift/Currie and others!) AND New England Clam Chowder. But also the chicken soup is pretty luscious as well. I did a creamed corn soup a couple weeks ago, so the chicken soup today is basically Creamed Cron Chicken and Rice. It's just perfect for today. You're definitely going to have to have a bowl of one and take a quart or two of the others home.
Come see us.
