• My Corner Deli in Astoria

    After seeing @billyeats post about his corner deli, I got to thinking about the topic of that local deli you grow up going to. Until age 15 I lived in the heart of Astoria, Queens, so I was near many great food establishments, many of them delis and pizzerias. As a kid, of course, I wasn’t aw…
  • 13 Boxed Lunches That Will Blow Your Mind

    Bentos are a Japanese method of packing lunches in an aesthetically pleasing way. Some of the bentos out there are truly edible art, and are almost too cute to eat! I've been packing bento lunches for quite some time, and while my bentos will never stack up to these, it's fun to draw inspiration f…
  • OFFICE LUNCHES TO DIE FOR

    For all the Vegans out there, having to lunch/dine with non-Vegans is one of the most challenging moments of being an Ethical Vegan. Health based Vegans might not mind seeing animal carcasses on other people's plates but Ethical Vegans would hardly ignore it. I was faced with such dilemma last Frida…
  • Yesterday's lunch was chicken…

    Yesterday's lunch was chicken breast and steamed veggies. Such a huge difference from the way I used to eat. You'd very rarely find me eating vegetables, much less making my own meals! Of course, my lunch would've been incomplete without my beloved green tea. I don't believe I've mentioned how muc…
  • My Bakery Pilgrimage

    Upon departing from lunch with two very lovely ladies, @stephanie and Eugenia, I began my 3 hour long bakery pilgrimage. I figured I should take advantage of already being in the city at the Xanga office and stop at a few places on my list of bakeries to try, one that was actually listed in my Top…
  • Dad's lunch

    Dad used to always get a Hershey bar in his lunch and he worked hard for it. I just remember getting the liverwurst sandwich in mine.
  • Restaurant Review: Eatery

    A couple weeks ago my boyfriend was visiting town and we decided to spend a day in Manhattan. We purchased tickets at tkts for Nice Work If You Can Get It and proceeded to waltz down 9th Avenue for lunch. By the time we were done waiting in line for tickets we were starving, but refused to eat any…

    She should go to Self Help for the Elderly for senior lunch. I am gonna qualify this year to go to some senior lunches. In fact I will celebrate my sixtieth birthday by going to Kimochi Senior Center for lunch. That's the senior center where I did some hard time to work off a $500 speeding tic…
  • Lovely Morning: What Are You Having For Lunch?

    It's a little later than usual for a Lovely Morning post, so we thought we'd take advantage to ask about lunch. Personally, I'm planning to step out and eat a delicious salad from a local Greek restaurant. Then I'll pick up a coffee on the way back, and write more posts for Lovelyish.
  • The Panorama of My Silence-Heart CafĂ© Review

    I purchased a Yelp deal for $10 worth of food for $5 to be used at The Panorama of My Silence-Heart Café in Jamaica, New York. The Manhattan-esque café caters to a vegetarian/vegan crowd, but meat lovers like me can also find comfort there with super strong and frothy lattes, homemade…
