“Lunch Hour” Exhibit at the New York Public Library
- A perfect companion piece to the AMNH’s “Global Kitchen” is “Lunch Hour NYC,” an exhibit at the New York Public Library (Stephen A. Schwarzman Building, Gottesman Exhibition Hall, 42nd and Fifth Avenue). This free exhibit, on view until February 17, 2013, looks back at more than a century of New York lunches.
On view are photographs, cookbooks, recipe cards and products from the working class lunches in the taverns of lower Manhattan to the power lunches at Sardis; from hot dog pushcarts on Fifth Avenue to Horn and Hardart’s Automat in Times Square. Some of my favorite pieces included:
The exhibit is open Monday-Saturday 10am-6pm (Tuesday evening until 7:30pm).
