You’ve always said if you had two hours to spend with a personal trainer everyday, you’d be a Skinny Bitch, too. You’d also have time to keep up those nails and buy groceries. Alas, for the foreseeable future, you’re a working girl.
Cure the 9 to 5 blues and be a lady who lunches by indulging in the decadent prix fixe weekday lunch at the Alden’s *17 restaurant. Choose a first course and an entrée – how does an artfully prepared organic salad and tagliatelle sound? – and end with an oven fresh chocolate chip cookie. Your elegant surroundings will be trust fund chic, but at $17 for three courses, you won’t stretch your paycheck.
If your boss gripes that you weren’t back in under an hour, tell him you aren’t planning on working forever.

What was that office policy on drinking at lunch? All month long, the Alden is serving up a signature Tickled Pink martini, garnished with a pale pink rose petal, at *17 and the adjacent a+ bar during lunch (and more appropriate evening hours). Proceeds benefit breast cancer research at M.D. Anderson.
