The dollar pizza plague trend is spreading! Yesterday, I found this sign up in the narrow storefront on 6th Avenue near 39th Street that used to be a Tasti D-Lite. Personally, if I’m over there looking for a bite, I’d probably hit Kati Roll Company (on 39th btw. 5+6th) or the Desi Food Truck, but on those days when you only have $2 or $3 to spend on lunch, this will definitely come in handy.

This week I noticed on the ML Twitter Tracker that Korilla BBQ was trying out some new menu items–citrus glazed version of their “Wonderbird” (aka chicken) and the KALBiester which is their take on traditional BBQ (kalbi is marinated short rib). Being a Korilla fan, I had to go check it out. Read more »

Thursdays are usually Joyride’s midtown day, but this week they’re off the road. According to Twitter “A bus hit our truck over Sunday. Luckily the damage isn’t too bad. We’ll prob. be back up&running this weekend.” Yikes. Hope that everyone is ok and that the truck is on the mend soon.

Previti Pizza Deal Alert: Today's InBundles deal is a good one for fans of Previti Pizza (on 41st btw. Park+Lex), the 2010 Midtown Lunch Reader's Poll winner for Best Pizza. Get a large cheese pizza for only $9, limit 5 pies per person but you can use all 5 Bundles in one visit! (Pizza party time?) The best part is, it's good for delivery so you don't even have to leave your desk to enjoy this one.

Brownie recommends a salad from Paulie Gee’s in Greenpoint that we can all get behind, while Blondie introduced yet another person to Shopsin’s. Chris H. gave 4 stars to Tenpenny in Midtown East, Donny had a “fantastic” burger at Dubuque in Carroll Gardens, and Ultraclay drooled over the doughnuts at Dough in Bed-Stuy. And our newest contributor Brian had the honey rosemary ice cream at DessertTruck Works as part of his effort to eat through TONY’s Top 100 Dishes of the Year.
Around the rest of the ML Universe, Andrea had one of the best pita sandwiches she’s ever eaten down in the FiDi, Jamie got herself into a hairy situation eating mutton in Philly, and I took one of my favorite Los Angeles food trucks to task for trying to spin their closure as happy news.

Just walked by Cafe R, the new deli on 32nd btw. 6+7th that we told you about back in January, and they’re almost ready to open. The shelves were stocked already with generic deli things like sancks, candies, drinks, etc. and they will be serving breakfast, coffee, pasta, asian food, wraps (aka pretty generic deli stuff.) It’s not the Food Gallery 32 we were hoping for but it is massive! The place stretches all the way to 31st street, like Cafe Duke, but times 4.
Check out the football field’ish inside after the jump…

Thanks to Mr. Wilson for sending in this tip about Zocalo in Grand Central: “Shut down by the health department yesterday for at least 2 days due to ‘refrigeration issues’. Will be hosting a customer appreciation night this coming monday. A sign posted yesterday invited everyone to ‘come by monday for a margarita on the house’.” Nice! Now that’s how you handle a Department of Health closure properly.

As a luncher who likes having many a good amount of options for my meals, I was excited to make my own sushi at My Maki (43rd btw Lex+3rd), especially when it could involve junk food. I know junk food in sushi might be considered irreverence to Japanese culture, but it feels so rebellious. Seeing that they’re running a special “Midtown Lunch Promotion” getting you $3 off any roll this week, I made the time to head on over.
