We can’t enough of fall-inspired dishes.

A medley of roasted vegetables on rice. Rice with melted mascarpone cheese, topped with roasted butternut squash, cauliflower and kale, and grape tomatoes. 

(This is leftovers from last night).

I’m on a writing retreat at my parents’ house and my dad and I just made James Beard’s Vidalia onion tea sandwiches for lunch. Just butter the bread, add one layer of salted paper-thin sweet onion slices, spread the cut edges with mayonnaise, then dip in chopped parsley. A lovely lunch on a hot day.

LUNCH

Baked tilapia fillets with sauteed veggies and pasta leftovers. Doesn’t that look tasty? But my husband still complained there was nothing sweet (like doughnuts) for dessert.


This post made us realize that we never feature much seafood on this blog. So here’s some fish!

Today’s lunch photo comes from our trusty NYPL staff. These beef noodles were so delicious that she couldn’t remember where she ate them.

With carbs and marinara sauce in our stomachs, we said goodbye today to our fearless PR press representative, Kate Stober. Patsy’s Pizzeria indulged us with an enormous calzone, mozzarella and ricotta pizza, chicken parmesan, and more.

We wish you the best and safety from coyotes and wolves, Kate! Thank you for all the hard work you’ve done for the Lunch Hour NYC exhibition.
