By 11:30am, my stomach is growling and I\u2019m already distracted by sweet dreams of lunch to come. I try to pack a lunch, but some days (ok\u2026 a lot of days!) I opt to spend five extra minutes hitting snooze in exchange for the mad hunt for lunch in a 5 block radius of the office. And now that spring is (supposedly) here, farmers markets are back in full force, which means the lunch options are endless! We all have hectic days, but if you happen to work near a farmer\u2019s market, you can get a pretty amazing lunch in the same amount of time and money it would take you to peruse the shelves at Pret or yawn in the Chipotle line. Here’s our guide to great lunching if you work near one of the 130+ farmers markets in New York City. And what\u2019s even better is that if you go just once, you can pick up enough stuff for a couple of lunches, 4pm-hit-the-wall-snacks with friends, and dinner ingredients.
