5 places where you'll actually find Wall Street eating lunch

Gone are the days of three martini lunches and afternoon steak and potatoes on Wall Street, but it's not at all because the market is in chaos.

People weren't eating steak lunches right before the lean times 2008 either.

In fact, to capture a group of guys in suspenders gorging themselves at Delmonico's Steakhouse before 2:00 pm you would have to time travel back to the 1980s.

These days, as our friend Josh Brown of the Reformed Broker pointed out, Wall Street is leaner and meaner, and the market is nastier and faster. Trades happen faster than the blink of an eye - there's no time for sluggishness.

So when Wall Street (which is actually in Midtown) goes to lunch, they do it a hop, skip and jump from their desks. They also eat things that won't make them feel like passing out afterwards.

Note: We would like to differentiate, for our readers, the difference between a trader's schedule and a banker's/investor's schedule. Traders hang on the market's every whim. They do not sit down and enjoy a luxurious lunch. That would be suicide.

Bankers and investors, though, they get to relax for an hour or so. These are the people you might find out enjoying a nice piece of fresh fish or a roll.

We know, not that sexy.
