Very close walking distance from 45th & Collins would be Arnie & Richie’s (Jewish deli) on Arthur Godfrey Road. It’s actually now called "Roasters & Toasters" since it got bought out, but I just can’t bring...

If you’re on a budget it’s all about jazzing up normal/economical foods -Buy some peanuts (or mixed nuts if you want to splurge) season them and roast in the toaster oven -Take whole wheat pitas brush with butter or oil...

, but I have been making things like hummus and pita chips, Mediterranean salsa and crostini and I got a few ideas from the “dip” post below. It doesn’t necessarily need to be a dip; just something easy for him...

. Pita Hut has pretty decent middle-eastern standards – shwarma, falafel, hummus, baba ganoush, etc. wrapped in a laffa bread. Arnie & Richie’s Deli apparently is underoing a conversion to a "Roasters and Toasters"...

Egg salad made w/ whites and low fat mayo on whole wheat toast/sccoped bagel. Low fat cream cheese and lox on a whole wheat bagel or whole wheat pita, or rolled up in a whole wheat tortilla, with tomatoes, onions, and capers....

tomatoes, whatever, let it cool to tepid, and stuff warm pita with it. (I keep pita in the freezer; one cycle in the toaster oven and it’s hot, puffed, and ready for stuffing.) In chard season I freeze cooked chard in...

). The version of gyros that you mentioned, doner, should also come served on bread much different than a pita: it’s a larger flaky loaf from which a wedge is cut, which is then grilled in a "panino machine/toaster" and then...

You can also, as I do, make either ahead of time and toss them in a toaster/toaster oven. Waffles do very well this way. Pancake batter, in my expereince, holds much better than waffle batter (at least with the batters I make,...

hate to ruin your idea of the falafel as a health food, but I think that the majority of the calories are from fat (remember they are fried!) Aside from that, they are higher in carbs than protein. I have linked the nutrition...

I can’t help you with the boil-in-bags. Do you have access to a microwave at your office? I try to bring my lunch as often as I can. I bring a lot of leftovers from restaurants and from home. I have a toaster oven,...

packing at home (I usually have to pack lunch in any case) and little or no effort to prepare at the office? We do have a toaster oven, a microwave and a hotpot at the office. There is also a Trader Joe’s nearby, so if...

There was a decent Italian place on 41 St. west of your hotel. El Pomodoro, IIRC. Also Arnie’s and Richie’s Deli is on 41 Street, though I haven’t been there since it changed owners (now called Roasters &...

Thank you all, I do have a microwave and a minifridge available at work. No toaster oven, I wish! Things I bought and made: a trail mix with dried cherries, soynuts, pepitas, raisins and sunflower seeds, carrots with a sweet...

remove garlic from the oven, turn heat off. Arrange triangles of cut pita or flat brad on a small tray or cookie sheet. Place bread into the hot toaster oven or conventional oven. The bread will be warmed through and lightly...

the taste. another fun thing is your own pizza (if you have a toaster oven available- not sure it will taste right microwaved) you can bring either a premade crust, pita bread, bagel, etc... a bit of sauce, cheese, & veggie/meat...
