The midday edition · November 2026

A good hour
in the middle
of the day.

A pot on the stove. A sandwich on the board.
Lunch can be that simple.

A little soup. A little something to dip.

A different pot each day

Five days.
Five reasons to stop.

Monday’s broccoli cheddar. Wednesday’s red lentil. Friday’s beef barley. Tomato basil stays on the stove every weekday.

Stay for lunch.
Take a quart home.

A BLT, a turkey sandwich or a cheddar melt. Pair half with a cup of soup, or add a quart for later.

Order at the counter at 8 Alder Arcade. There is a small row of tables if you have time to sit.
