Box Lunch

Cape Cod


Light on the wallet and handy for a quick lunch, this simple roadside operation attached to a farm stand offers an array of roll-up sandwiches, the best of which is the Californian: a turkey, avocado and tomato combo that hits the mark. Box Lunch is a Cape chain: there are a few other stores around, with the same budget-friendly menu.
