Maybe there are no free lunches, but New York`s Buckingham Hotel and Carnegie Deli are trying to soften the blow with the "NYC to Go" special.

The two Midtown landmarks have teamed to provide visitors a box lunch for their return flight so they don`t have to go home on an empty stomach. With the NYC to Go package, guests are able to relax in one of the Buckingham`s suites and, upon checkout, receive a box lunch of traditional New York fare: a Carnegie Deli corned beef on rye sandwich, pickles and a Dr. Brown`s Crème Soda.

The package is available for $285 per night, double occupancy. Information: 1-888-511-1900; www.buckinghamhotel.com. Use the promotional code: deli.
