The first simply states the past accomplishment. The second indicates the duration of the pleasantry, during which something else happened; this second event must be indicated in the context or otherwise mutually understood-- if not, your second statement is a fragment and is incorrect. Sorry, Rfaleet, but your answer is wrong. The second one is past continuous, and it is in frequent use. Owikyss, the point is that past continuous is used to create the environment for another past action for example: We were having a great time until the police arrived. Without some reference to another past action, the past continuous verb form does not complete a statement. In fact, it is very commonly used. Having said all that, I think I know what you were trying to say. It has other action-related meanings as well. I have a headache.

I went to lunch with a group of friends yesterday, and one of my friends brought two new people whom I did not know. Today I bump into one of the new ones, and I wanted to be polite and tell the person that I had a great time at lunch. I have read several places on the internet, that saying "Thank you for yesterday" has a sexual undertone to it. Other than that, Thank you for yesterday could mean anything, and certainly doesn't have a subtext—or even a text-level text—that's sexual in and of itself. Where did you read this? To answer your question, you could say Thank you for lunch yesterday to avoid all confusion.
