On Wednesdays now at work (The Guggenheim) I make a brown bag lunch for $5. It comes with a sandwich, fruit and tortilla chips.
It started out as a means of relaying awesome food from the farmers market to those I work with on the Upper East Side of NYC. So, the food is as local and organic as possible. This is now February, so the locally made food is down to the bread, usually from Amy’s Bread, and the carrots, horseradish, apples, etc. from the Union Square Farmer Market. The rest is from Manhattan Fruit Exchange in Chelsea Market. Also, Integral Yoga is a huge supplier of the ingredients for me.
The last few weeks have had honey oranges from Florida (yum) and home made bean spreads. I soaked the organic beans and then made hummus and a black bean spread.
Oh yeah, there is also a rubber stamp for the bag which reads, “Nick’s Lunchbox Service”, which has to be the best part of the whole lunch.
