Day in and day out, crowds of people wait in line at Star Provisions, salivating in front of counters filled with fried chicken, frittatas, and all manner of Southern sides. We love the simple pleasure of prosciutto on a house-baked baguette smeared in butter. Try the po’boy bursting with fried shrimp, or the olive-soaked layers of a muffuletta piled with mortadella and coppa. The choices of sandwiches, salads, even a daily blue-plate special, are endlessly satisfying. And no lunch at Star Provisions is complete without a trip to the cheese counter, meat market, or pastry counter for a delicate lemon meringue tart or colorful cupcake. less...

Nan Thai Fine Dining (Featured)
How can you tell where the power brokers dine? Check out a restaurant’s parking lot around noon. If the cheapest car on the blacktop is a 3-year-old Mercedes Benz, you’ve got a mergers-and-acquisitions-over-lunch winner. The cars driven off by the valet look mighty shiny at NAN THAImore...

How can you tell where the power brokers dine? Check out a restaurant’s parking lot around noon. If the cheapest car on the blacktop is a 3-year-old Mercedes Benz, you’ve got a mergers-and-acquisitions-over-lunch winner. The cars driven off by the valet look mighty shiny at NAN THAI FINE DINING, where Midtown movers and shakers rub Brooks Brothers-suited shoulders over lovely Thai cuisine. Prices are the same day and night, with entrees running up to $32. Elegantly understated yet thoroughly royal, Nan’s dining room is the perfect spot for those who like to make people listen by whispering, not shouting.
1350 Spring St. 404-870-9933.

The three-martini lunch may now be a cultural relic of the Cold War era, but there’s still an art to a civilized noontime business meal. BRASSERIE LE COZE, in the middle of Lenox Square but very much its own environment, has the right tone of relaxed sophistication for the modern working lunch. The classics here - onion soup, mussels in cream, skate wing, lamb sandwich with tapenade - never fail to please, though you might try one of chef Joshua Perkins’ more newfangled creations if you’re feeling adventurous. Bonus: You can always play hooky from the office and disappear into the mall afterward. “3393 Peachtree Road, Lenox Square. 404-266-1440.” less...
