The American is born “quick,” grows up “quick,” works ”quick,” eats ”quick,” makes up his mind ”quick,” gets rich ”quick,” and dies ”quick.”  — The Westminster, 1908 And as exhibits come and go, Lunch Hour NYC has gone too “quick.” It’s time to say good-bye to Lunch Hour NYC. Thank you to everyone who stopped by since June to visit. We hope you enjoyed reliving automats and tin lunch boxes, but also came away with learning something new and memorable. It has been a pleasure maintaining the Tumblr and Twitter feeds and seeing all the deliciously prepared meals posted by many great chefs and foodies alike. Seeing the enthusiasm and love people found for food is fantastic!   Please continue and explore NYPL and look at the vast resources it can provide. Stay tuned for more great exhibits and if you haven’t already, please “Like” New York Public Library on Facebook.
