One of my Mealpass lunches.
Mealpass, a new monthly lunch startup, just launched in New York City.
The service is similar to ClassPass, a service that grants you access to local fitness studios after you pay a monthly fee. With Mealpass, you get an all-you-can-eat subscription - in this case, allowing you to pick-up a daily (albeit not unlimited) lunch from participating restaurants.
Over 100 NYC restaurants have signed on for Mealpass. It's also available in Miami and Boston.
For the monthly price of $119 (without tax), the service promises lunch Monday to Friday for less than $6 a day. If you live in New York City, you know that sounds too good to be true.
I decided to try the service for a week. Here's what happened.
