Looking for a really really really late lunch, or an early dinner? NYC Daily Deals noticed this new deal at Kushi Q, the fast food yakitori place with two locations in Midtown. $5 gets you any 3 skewers + rice or salad from 4 to 6pm. (Did somebody say $5? We love that pricepoint!)

Everything is Bigger in Midtown: According to Eater "Steve Hanson is testing out a new 8 oz burger—larger than the burgers at the original location—for the menu at his mammoth Rockefeller Center location of Bill's Bar and Burger." Nice.

It seems as if the entire city is going bonkers over K! Pizzacone (on 5th btw. 32+33rd), where pandemonium has completely broken out. We gave you the first look this morning, and then Gothamist, Grub Street and Eater all followed suit. Plus Robert Sietsema (from the Village Voice) and Adam Kuban (from Slice) are both there.
I’m sure their reports will be filed soon, but in the meantime here’s a New York Daily News report to tie you over. They took cameras into the place over the weekend, and interviewed the owner. I don’t know if we agree with his logic (“If it works in Italy…”), or his insistence that regular pizza isn’t portable enough (!?!), but you have to sympathize with his doe-eyed enthusiasm! Also not reassuring is the news that each cone takes 5 minutes to make, after you’ve picked your toppings. (No wonder it’s so packed!) Is it just us or does this place have Kolache Mama and Empanada Joe’s written all over it?
Check out the video, after the jump.

A Look Inside Kim “Treats Truck” Ima’s Apartment: The New York Tims real estate section paid a little visit to Treats Truck sweetheart Kim Ima this weekend, giving us an inside look at her second home (the one without wheels and tasty sweets.) I have to say her decorating tastes just endear her to my heart even more!

Still skeptical about the pizzacones? (How could you not be!) Well, K! Pizzacone isn’t the only big Midtown pizza grand opening today. Just received word that the new location of 2 Bros Pizza (on 8th Ave. and 38th Street) is now open for business. $1 pizza vs. $5 strange new pizza in cone form. Tough decision! (Or not…)

Wafels Gets Robbed, Schnitzel Breaks Down: Sadness on the ML Twitter Tracker today. On Friday Wafels and Dinges got a ticket, and had their tip jar stolen! And Schnitzel & Things are having truck problems and won't be out today. But Rickshaw is on Madison Ave., Street Sweets is giving away free cookies to the Flatiron, and Cravings is on 48th.

After months of construction on the former Little Pie Company space, the Magnolia Bakery at Grand Central Terminal is open for business. They officially opened on Saturday but are still working out the kinks and figuring out hours. Tourists and fans of mediocre cupcakes rejoice! The rest of us should be prepared for hordes of gawkers ogling the cupcake frosting rituals.

Midtown French Dip?: Zach might be living in the French Dip mecca now, but it looks like our very own version might have been hiding here all along. Check out this roast beef and gravy sandwich Dave Cook discovered on 35th btw. 7+8th.

Thrillist reported on Friday that K! Pizzacone, the much–anticipated new addition to the New York pizza scene will be opening today. Unable to wait for what Eater calls “the biggest opening in Midtown“, I ran right over on Friday after work to see if there were any hints of activity, only to find them open! (Sort of.) The lady behind the counter was quick to let everyone know that they were just “testing” their system to make sure everything was working properly and that they actually open today. Regardless of whether they were “open” or just open, there were cones filled with cheese and other delights to be had, so I took the opportunity to stuff my face with them.
Menu details and gooey food porn after the jump!
