Mamacita’s Midtown Halloween Happy Hour Guide

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: [...]

Kwik Gourmet Offers Discounted Street Meat

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 [...]

The Midtown Mascots Halloween Challenge

If there’s one thing I see a ton of walking around Midtown every day at lunch, it’s people dressed up in ridiculous costumes handing out fliers to people. It’s hilarious to see some of the outfits that restaurants force their employees to squeeze into, so for Halloween this year I decided to forgo our [...]

I hate decisions. [...]

Free Cupcake Reminder

Don’t forget that Kyotofu (the Japanese bakery on 9th Ave. btw. 48+49th) will be giving out free cupcake sampler packs all day today to celebrate their new fall bakery items.  They open at Noon. [ML Forums]

Yes, That Was The Schnitzel Truck You Saw On TV Last Night

Nothing like a T-Mobile ad during the World Series (or the Office, or Top Chef) to raise your profile. The Schnitzel Truck is everywhere thanks to a brand new TV ad that seems to be everywhere.  The truck is only on for a few seconds, and I’m not exactly sure what a priest who text [...]

Vendors Protest Over Perceived Uptick in Criminal Summonses

It was all fun and games earlier today at many of Midtown’s street carts, but on Tuesday there was an organized protest on the steps of City Hall by street vendors who feel an increase in hostility from powers that be. “The top spokesman for the Police Department, said that no broad crackdown was [...]
