Breakfast and Lunch looks at the people who get two meals a day a senior center in Greenwich Village. In their homes and at the center, I listened to their stories, shared my time and gave them all of my attention. While I encountered desperate loneliness, regret, and sometimes true contentment, most potent was the recurring sense of resilience.
