WTF Junior’s? Where’s Our Free Cheesecake: Apparently tomorrow Junior's will be giving free cheesecake with every lunch and dinner order, or slices of cheesecake ala carte for just 60 cents... at the BROOKLYN location. What? No love for Midtown? What a bunch of BS. [NYDN via Grub Street]

Katie Holmes Has Midtown Cupcakes Shipped to Canada: I guess we do have great cupcakes after all? Apparently Todd English's 16 year old daughter has a line of cupcakes called Isabelle's Curly Cakes- sold exclusively at his Food Hall in the Plaza (on 59th and 5th.) And they're so good that Katie Holmes had a box of them shipped to Canada where she is working. [People via Eater]

I think it’s safe to say people are super excited about the new Mexicue Truck… they’re parked on 52nd and Park today and as of 12:10 the line is already 30 people long (and getting longer by the minute.) I guess a little rain isn’t a deterrent when chili rubbed, pulled pork sliders are involved.

Thanks to discskyer for passing along this photo of the Maoz on 40th and 7th Ave. It’s quite a coincidence that this happens the same week that the DOH is giving out letter grades… but we’ll take them at their word (their last inspection would have gotten them an A). As for lunch, if you’re looking for some replacement falafel in the area you’ll have to make due with this, this, or this.

Lena Latin Grill, the new South American lunch spot on 35th Street btw. 5+6th, will soon be serving Latin breakfast. Starting August 2nd from 7-10am, they’ll be offering empanadas, arepas, cafe con leche and more. Too bad they don’t serve that stuff through lunchtime! Check out the menu after the jump.

Do you wonder what the ML contributors do when they’re not eating lunch in Midtown? (They’re actually pretty easy to stalk!)
Hello DBGB Thai Sausage! Photo by Food in Mouth
Brownie tries “The Sneaky Pete” at Shopsin’s (3 poached eggs over spicy garlic bread topped with jack, bacon, tomato and scallions) while Blondie discovers that the Van Leeuwen brothers are now serving palm sugar ice cream. Ultraclay had a delicious birthday dinner at Maialino, Danny loved the bone marrow and thai sausage at DBGB, and congrats to Amy whose Stupidly Simple Snack videos launch on Hungry Nation tomorrow!

Here Come the Letter Grades: The DOH has started awarding letter grades to restaurants, causing Eater to pose the question: "Would you Dine at a B or C Grade Restaurant." Uh. We already do! Every single day. A great man once said, "B is For Better". And another great man said "C is for Cookie, that's good enough for me." Agreed!
