Midtown Lunch

The newest member of the Hallo Berlin Family was supposed to open today on 9th Ave. btw. 50+51st, but it’s (not surprisingly) been pushed back a week while they wait for the inspectors.  Normally 9th Ave. is out of bounds for Midtown Lunch’ing purposes, but I’ve been know to break the rule for something schnitzel- er, sorry… I meant special. 

Hallo Berlin Express will live in between their famous cart (5th Ave.), and their proper beer garden (on 10th Ave.), both from a location and a conceptual standpoint.  All your favorites are there, including (slightly more expensive versions of) the 5th Ave. Combo (Any 2 wursts for $10), and the Dr. Atkins Combo ($12).  Plus all of the promised additions, and more.

Ahhh memories… April was pretty crazy.  Chipotle tried to pull a fast one with their “Calorie Ranges”, the 3 sushi rolls for $10 deal came (and went), a ton of free stuff was given away, and we were teased with both Chick Fil A & the possibility of a Sizzler.  I don’t see how May can top it.  Here were the most read posts on Midtown Lunch for the month of April:
