New York areas kids like peanut butter: Newsday surveyed about 200 kids and found that their ideal lunch is:

- Peanut butter & jelly on white bread
- Grapes
- Bag of chips
- Cookies
- Fruit juice

Damn, that's a lot of food. Gothamist's favorite sandwiches of our youth are Ahboo's scrambled egg sandwiches and butter-and-sugar sandwiches (Jen and Jake respectively). More results from Newsday's lunch food poll and health specialists gives suggestions on how to make that lunch more healthy (tip: trick kids who don't like whole wheat bread by giving them a slice of white on top with a slice of wheat on bottom).
