One perk of being a wallflower (slut) in New York City is that, on any given weekend morning, one can incorporate culture, art, and history into their walk of shame.
How blessed I am to be a Millennial with questionable morals living in one of the best cities in the world!
This Saturday, I had the great opportunity to check out Lunch Hour NYC at the New York Public Library.
The exhibit featured the interesting history of how lunch evolved in the Big Apple, and how the impacts of war, recession, and even the Civil Rights Movement helped change the way New Yorkers spent their lunch break.
"Lunch Hour NYC looks back at more than
a century of New York lunches, when the city’s early power brokers
invented what was yet to be called “power lunch,” local
charities established a 3-cent school lunch, and visitors with
guidebooks thronged Times Square to eat lunch at the Automat. Drawing on
materials from throughout the Library, the exhibition explores the ways
in which New York City—work-obsessed, time-obsessed, and in love with ingenious new ways to make money—reinvented lunch in its own image."
It's free with a suggested donation and one could expect to spend around an hour or so exploring.
The exhibit runs until February 17, 2013.
