Lunch for me usually consists of leftovers, or on the days I work at Travelgirl, a hastily assembled sandwich eaten at my desk. So I'm always pretty happy to actually go out to lunch. Or at least have other hands than my own make me a sandwich.

Here are just a few spots to check out for lunch:

Brookhaven Bistro

It took me a few minutes to find this little gem of a place, tucked behind Nuts 'N Berries on Peachtree Street. It also happens to be directly on my way to Travelgirl so is perfect for those days when I am in the mood to just pick something up. It bills itself as Brookhaven's healthy restaurant, and serves fresh breakfast and lunch items. You'll find black beans and rice, chicken salad and burritos made with fresh, organic ingredients. The most expensive lunch item is just $9.50, broiled wild Alaska salmon served over brown rice with seasonal vegetables, a meal that would set you back at least twice that at a fancy tablecloth restaurant. I really enjoyed my black bean soup and chicken salad sandwich (the 1/2 and 1/2 for just $6.95.) Check it out when you'll looking for a convenient and healthy option for lunch. 4272 Peachtree Road, 404-846-2345.
