Midtown Lunch

Speaking of pork, Luncher “Niu Yorker” sent along a link to a free coupon for White Castle’s new BBQ Pork Slider. (Seems like this promotion was well timed.)  There is one White Castle in Midtown (on 8th Ave. btw. 36+37th) if you dare… The Feedbag didn’t have such nice things to say about the new [...]

Today’s Pork from Cafe Cello (on 46th btw. 5+6th)
I swear, if one more person even jokes about not eating pork anymore because of this swine flu stupidity I’m going to throw up in my own mouth. I’m sick of it. It’s not even fun to joke about. There’s nothing wrong with eating [...]

Slice is reporting that Snapple will be giving away free pizza every day next week, and stop one is on Monday at Spinelli’s (on 7th Ave. btw. 33+34th.)  Giveaway starts at 10:30 a.m. and lasts until the 500th person is served.

“Why don’t you write about the places on 9th Ave.!?!” is a question I get a lot.  My reply is usually some form of “Well then I have to go to 2nd Ave., and 26th street, and 65th Street… and then it never ends.”  Essentially, you have to have boundaries or else it’s complete chaos.  [...]

I’ve been begging for it ever since the Midtown Lunch Sandwich Challenge began, and word is the Papa Perrone Truck (on 55th btw. Mad+Park) is stepping up to the plate today. Chicken fingers. Mozzarella sticks. French Fries. Sauce. Roll.  If you’ve ever been to the Rutgers grease trucks you know exactly what I’m talking about.  [...]

It looks like Province Chinese Canteen, the little Tribeca mantou shop that closed at the end of last year, will be reopening soon on 53rd Street btw. 2+3rd under the new name “Mantao Chinese Sandwiches”. I’m all for little Chinese sandwiches, although according to a comment on Yelp, the original owners “’sold’ the business to [...]

In honor of Queen’s Day (?), which is today, Wined and Dined and Serious Eats: New York are reporting that Danku (on 57th btw. 5+6th) is going to start serving made to order stroopwafels, a kind of waffle cookie sandwich thing with a “hot caramel goo” in the center. You all know how I [...]

Get your cheap ice cream on after work today (Weds 4/29) at Baskin Robbins, where cones are 31 cents from 5 to 10pm. Proceeds will benefit America’s Firefighters.  Blondie and Brownie have a full list of Midtown locations.

I requested it yesterday, and Adam Kuban has answered the challenge… ladies and gentleman, the cheap slice showdown between 99 Cent Fresh Pizza and its new neighbor 2 Bros. It’s as amazing as I imagined it would be when I issued the challenge. The winner as declared by SLICE: 2 Bros. (Didn’t I [...]

Eater becomes the latest to poke fun at Benjamin Steakhouse’s PR tactics, posting their invitation to bloggers to come in and sample their burger.  I wonder why Midtown Lunch didn’t get an invite?  Oh… that’s right.
