Thank you to everyone who helped make this week’s Lunch Box a success! Over 5,000 attendees came out to 28 Liberty’s Fosun Plaza on Wednesday, October 7 to enjoy the brisk fall weather and dine on delicious meals from some of Lower Manhattan’s newest restaurants. Whether your business participated or you dined, volunteered or just stopped by to check out the scene, we appreciate you.
This year’s Lunch Box was the fifth annual pop-up food fair presented by the Alliance’s Dine Around Downtown team, with 10 local restaurants participating this year — 62 William, Good Coconut and Joju Vietnamese at Golden Mall, Honeybrains, Nio’s Shake, Sadie’s, Sammie Thai Hero Sandwiches, Sam Ping’s Chinese BBQ, Tacos del Barrio, Terravita Downtown and Urban Cove — each offering a $10 boxed lunch (plus drinks for purchase). The event gave attendees the opportunity to sample dishes from these newer neighborhood spots, and hopefully to find a few new lunchtime go-tos.
Check out our gallery below to see scenes from Lunch Box, and note that if you missed this one, fear not — the event will return next fall. And, of course, stay tuned for the annual Dine Around Downtown community food festival in the spring!
