Midtown Lunch

Today is round two of Mastercard’s Food Truck Feast promotion in which they give away free lunch from ten different food trucks in the city every Thursday for a month. This week, there’s a brand new roster of vendors, including Palenque and Sweetery both on 51st (bw Madison and Park), Wafels & Dinges and Red Hook Lobster in the Flatiron, and Bistro Truck and the new Morris Grilled Cheese just out of bounds on Lexington (bw 68th and 67th).

For a complete list and locations, check out their Facebook page. And don’t forget to tweet with the hashtag #PricelessNY or simply flash your Mastercard to score the grub. Plus even though the official rules say differently, I was told last week by one of the Mastercard reps that there is no limit to how many free lunches you can get. So even if you scored last Thursday, that doesn’t mean you can’t eat for free again today – and if you play your cards right, maybe you can even get free food at multiple locations today. But remember, there are only 500 free lunches from each truck, so arrive as early as possible to avoid a shut out. The promotion lasts from 11am-3pm. Freeloaders, start your engines!
