"Lunch Hour NYC" exhibition (Midtown)

"Lunch Hour NYC" exhibition hosted at New York Library Stephen A. Schwarzman Building looks back at more than a century of New York lunches. The exhibition is organized in four categories - quick lunch, lunch at home, charitable lunch, and power lunch, each explaining how the economic development and lifestyle of people influenced on how and where people eat their lunch.

Visitors will learn about the development of the public school lunch program in New York, how streets foods such as pretzels, pizza, hot dogs..etc. developed and gained popularity, how changing fashions contributed to the rise of salads and other diet food, and how the demographics of New York's workforce influenced on the spread of restaurants including cafeterias and the Automat.

Also, Lunch Hour NYC partnered with the New York City Food Truck Association to celebrate the exhibition and will bring food trucks to Bryant Park, which is right next to the library. The food trucks participating in the event include Mexicue, Red Hook Lobster Pound, Rickshaw Dumplings, Eddie's Pizza..etc. 

I think hosting this kind of relevant event is a great way to promote the exhibition. Feeding the stomach is as important as feeding the mind :D. 

Ahh Only if they had a Kimchi-taco truck!!
