Legal Question in Employment Law in New York

My employer refuses to provide me with a lunch break. I work an 11 hour day, 7 am-6pm with no scheduled breaks. I am allowed to eat a lunch at my desk while I work or take a break if I have a client cancels, which rarely happens. Management has reimbursed me the cost of ordering lunch in the past but has recently stopped that practice.This has been ongoing for 14 years and I am tired of it.

Do I have legal recourse?
