The eggplant casserole alone is reason enough to come here for lunch. Also on offer, though, are a number of plate lunch specials, with an emphasis on vegetable choices. There's a popular selection of desserts, as well, all served efficiently by the long-tenured wait staff. There's always a wait during lunch time at this down-home eatery, but the "community" table makes this a good dining spot for parties of one. Also try out the downtown location, known as "The Cupboard II," which can be found at 149 Madison Avenue (+1 901 527 9111).
