Grab A Dirty Water Hot Dog And Get Back To The Office

This article is about an exhibit in New York that credits the city with the creation of lunch, at least the kind of lunch we know now -- the midday break from work to slam down a sandwich or something. They trace it to the 1800s and work schedules that prevented people from going home for a real meal in the afternoon, leading to the addition of the half-hour break (and the evening family dinner) and the advent of the Automat, which is a topic in itself if you're old enough to remember those.
