Looks like ’06 tastes a lot like ’05. Why not try something new?

While you were home sleeping the past few weeks, your work week lunch options were waking up.

Kamehachi
The Wells Street favorite now has a worker-bee-friendly location. The space is tight (best to go back to your desk), but it’s the same sushi you’ve come to know and love (311 South Wacker Drive, at Jackson Boulevard; 312-765-8700).

Spa Cafe
You resolved to eat right this year — all natural, no preservatives. This roomy new spot from chef Patrick Cassata makes it easy to stick to your word. Expect salads, wraps, quesaninnis (part quesadilla, part panini), low-cal, and low-carb options. Open for breakfast and lunch (112 West Monroe Street, at Clark Street; 312-551-0000).

Go Roma
A bit of a hike from the Loop (take Michigan and cruise post-holiday sales pre-pasta), but the Italian classics, sandwiches, and salads are well worth the walk — as is the possibility of scoring Theory at 50 percent off (848 North State Street, at Chestnut Street; 312-252-9946 or goroma.net).

Dig in.
