Quick Breakfast & Lunch Ideas very close to the hotel:

Co-Chair Ethel Cesarman who works in the City, did some scouting recently, here are her suggestions for quick breakfasts or lunches: (Lunch will be provided on Monday but there is a ‘lunch on your own’ break of only 1 hour on Tuesday so it wise to plan accordingly. Basic coffee and bagels will be provided in the mornings from 7:30 – 8:30 AM prior to the sessions.)

On Lexington Ave. from 57th to 42nd, there are many fast food restaurants.
– there are more options walking north than south.
– there is a pretty nice food court one block away, called Urbanspace (Lexington and 51st)
