Midtown Lunch

Here what lunchers are talking about right now in the forums

Negative story about Sarge’s is a lie! They make the best pastrami sandwich in Midtown [Midtown Eating]
The Malibu Diner is a great early morning breakfast spot [Eating Outside Midtown]
The Downtown Veronica’s Kitchen cart is better than the Jamaican Dutchy (!?!) [Midtown Eating]
Midtown Luncher come out [...]

Just wrapped up the judging for the second annual Street Meat Palooza. 30+ lunchers just converged in Bryant Park and palooza’d the hell out of street meat from 15 different Midtown carts. There were some crazy new developments this year, and my hunch is a new winner is going to be crowned. Stay tuned… results [...]

Thanks to Blondie & Brownie (of course) for pointing this one out. The Big Gay Ice Cream Truck is parked in front of TD Bank on 36th & 7th right now. Enjoy!

Every Tuesday I turn over the site to a different Midtown Lunch’er for his or her recommendations for the best lunch in Midtown. This week it’s Teresa, the girl responsible for the amazing Wah Mei Pork Chop Fast Food delivery story last week. I wanted to see what other tricks she might up her sleeve! [...]

It’s the last day of June, which means today is your final chance to for Certe’s delicious soft shelled crab sandwich (on 55th btw. 5+6th). I’m not sure if they are doing a July sandwich, but Thursday they *will* be serving the “make-good” $9 lobster roll they promised last month.  For those who don’t remember… [...]

This just in thanks to lunch’er “ecoli”:  The just out of bounds location of 99 Miles to Philly that opened on 2nd Ave. and 52nd Street has closed.  It looks like the original EV location is still open, which means that it’s just this space that’s cursed.  Zip Burger barely lasted two years in the [...]

Got this in the old inbox re: this morning’s eulogy to Fashion Soup: “I know someone very close to the landlord of 1440 Bway (Fashion Soup building) – here’s their side of the story – it was typical lease renewal dispute. The Fashion Soup lease was up, she (the owner) wanted generous relocation terms [...]

This morning Lunch’er Lee sends this update on the whole Hot Dog Carts vs. Street Sweets truck showdown on Friday:
I took another picture of the Street Sweets Truck at the end of the day when I left work (about 6pm). Looks like they sorted out whatever they needed to. What I find interesting, [...]
