Meet other people who work from home or are otherwise at home weekdays at lunchtime. Working from home is terrific, but don't you also miss the social life of a busy office where lunch is often the high point of the day? We can bring our virtual office together to enjoy some conversation over a salad, pizza, white fish salad, burrito, sushi and any of the other foods Park Slope has to offer. We are busy individuals so being able to pickup some lunch close by in the neighborhood is important.
