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.

Today is World Nutella Day and National Pancake Day… so why not combine the two?! Celebrate the best day on earth with Nutella Pancakes.
Thanks to armywife101.com, we found a recipe that will be sure to hit the spot.
Nutella Pancakes
Ingredients:
Jar of Nutella
Box of any pancake mix
Milk
Preparation:
1. Mix pancake mix according to instructions.
Then after you have mixed it throw in 2 spoonfuls of Nutella and mix again until everything is combined.
Some call for water in the mix I like milk in mine.
2. On pancake griddle spray with some butter spray and spoon about 1/3 of a cup of pancake batter onto it. Do as many as you can fit .
3. Drop a spoonful of Nutella in the middle of the mix.
4. Take another spoonful of pancake batter and spread over the Nutella and do this for the remaining pancakes as well.
5. Proceed to cook pancakes as normal and enjoy!

Ever notice that your bread twisty ties change color?
Is it for color variety, brand differentiation, or a strategic reason?
If you answered strategic reason, you are absolutely correct! Bread manufacturers and bakers needed a way to differentiate what loaf of bread was baked on a specific day. This was to guarantee that a family will not purchase an old stale loaf. Today, bread does not stay on the shelf for more than a couple days at a time. The reason we keep the tradition of colored twisty ties on bread is to assist grocery stockers from bypassing an old loaf on the shelf rather than attempting to read the tiny printed expiration dates.
