Summer is perfect for eating fresh, hearty meals. These local lunches I’ve eaten recently were too good not to share:

Meatball Shop’s ‘kitchen sink’ – veggie meatballs with spicy meat sauce over salad and garden veggies.

Lumpia Shack’s $10 lunch special: pork belly bowl with brown rice, fresh veggies, and mushroom lumpias (spring rolls).

And this awesome New York City sunset for good measure!
