Like most people working in offices in Manhattan, I spend a significant amount of money every week on lunches and the occasional breakfast pastry. I stand in winding lines at Dean and Deluca or Olive’s or some other sandwich/salad/soup operation for selections involving rosemary focaccia or creamy goat cheese prepared by someone else.
This weekend, I’m vowing to develop a plan to save money on lunch and repurpose the time I normally spend waiting in line on something more interesting and productive. This will involve a weekly plan of preparing lunches at home and perhaps a large bag of muesli. Full details to come on Sunday.
I am glad to see you still wait in line, as opposed to on the internet!
