-- Walking across a Midtown street, on a 75-degree spring day, to a little park with a fountain, with your sweetie. He brings the sandwiches, you bring the chips and drinks. (Years ago, before DH was my "H.")
-- Driving home since you only work 7 miles away, patting the doggie, making a yummy sandwich or burrito, and watching a little noon-time news or BravoTV for 40 minutes. (Less often than I'd like - I somehow forget about this option.)
-- Driving home and eating, then cleaning a bathroom or vacuuming the bedrooms. (Not fun, but sometimes necessary.)
-- Going to the mall which is only 1 mile away; finding great shoes at Payless for next-to-nothing, picking up a sandwich, sniffing some stuff at Bath & Body, not to mention getting a "walk" in because you parked at the wrong mall entrance for Payless. YESSSS! (Last week.)
-- Being asked to lunch with a friendly coworker, and trying a new taco place that has patio seating. (Monday.)
-- Taking a 15 minute walk around the pond behind the office building, then going back in, heating up lunch, and reading a Philippa Gregory novel for 45 minutes while eating. (Yesterday.)
P.S. I don't include a lunchtime trip to Target in this list because 1 hour never seems long enough to peruse all the different sections of Target. Even when I have a focused objective and go there? It's never quite long enough!

I LOVE those sorts of lunch hours! Before we bought our house, I was just 7 miles from home. Those were the days - DH and I could meet at home for lunch, or I could run home and clean or get dinner started in the crock pot.
Sounds like you have lots of options where you are now. Fun!
My lunch break is what I miss most from my working days. We got 1.5 hour lunch breaks. I would sometimes come home and nap (was pregnant virtually the entire time I worked). A lot of times I would take my book and walk to a nearby local food joint and sit and eat and read in peace.
