Lunch Box
Description
Locals rely on Lunch Box for satisfying soups and massive sandwiches to take back to their desks. The compact mom-and-pop joint has just a few counter stools, but patrons have the happy option of grabbing them to munch in Central Park, two blocks away. For under $10 you can get a baguette neatly layered with soft roast beef, muenster cheese, roasted peppers, fresh lettuce and tomato or any number of vegetarian and poultry combinations.
