Yummy Plates is one of those places you’d probably walk right by if you weren’t specifically looking for it. The daytime no-frills takeout spot has just one small table on the sidewalk sitting almost bashfully by a closed umbrella, weathered menus propped against the walls, and one person somehow single-handedly turning out everything on a dozens-deep menu, from french toast and BLTs to chicken tikka masala. You’re not here for the atmosphere—you’re here for an on-the-go breakfast or lunch that’ll keep hunger off the agenda for at least a few hours. The chicken caesar wrap is decent, but our favorite so far is the chicken pomegranate wrap, stuffed with so much chicken thigh and rice that you could hit a new bicep curl PR with it. Since this is essentially a one-man operation, order online ahead of time to avoid any long waits.
