If you like to eat, chances are you like to drink (read: a lot of you are freakin’ lushes), so I thought maybe it was time to introduce a happy hour column to the site. Every week, our Happy Hour Correspondent “Mamacita” posts about a different bar in Midtown that fits the Midtown Lunch mentality: [...]

I’m pretty sure that this sign isn’t brand new, but thanks to Lunch’er Daniel for bringing it to our attention.  Did you know that Kwik Gourmet (on 47th and Park) has cut prices by 50 cents on most of their items?  (I think the chicken mini roll is the only one that has stayed the [...]
