A commenter noticed this post on Chowhound referring to a truck that was spotted last Wednesday on 49th & Madison selling waffles and dinges.  Can anybody confirm? Has it been seen since?  OG truck or one of the newer imposters?  Please to comment…

This bit of news about Crumbs, the popular cupcake bakery on 42nd btw. 5+6th, was posted on Eater yesterday: “Crumbs announces two future locations. The first location, in a portion of the former Georgette Klinger Spa at 501 Madison Avenue at 52nd Street, is 800 square feet…

Le Pain Quotidien, the bread/sandwich/salad/bakery chain from Brussels, quietly opened its second Midtown location back in October on 40th St. btw. 5+6th, across from Bryant Park.  It probably wasn’t all that quiet to LPQ fans in the area, but for this hater of expensive Midtown bread/sandwich/salad/bakery chains it went virtually unnoticed.  After Profiled Midtown Lunch’er Janine […]

Serious Eats: New York posts a list of the ten best Ice Cream Sandwiches in the city and one of them is in Midtown.  Chocolate Ice cream on chocolate pound cake at the Signature Cafe inside the Lord and Taylor on 5th Ave. and 38th St.  At $6 it’s better be as freakin’ good as it looks.  [SE:NY]

This just in via Eater.  The newest branch of Red Mango has opened on 3rd Ave. btw. 34+35th and is giving away free yogurt until 10pm.  My recommendation… green tea with cap’n crunch.  Do it.  Do it.

One of my favorite (in theory) lunch places, that I don’t get to nearly enough, is the Lunch Box Buffet on 34th St. btw. 7+8th.  It’s been mentioned a few times in the comments, and I just never have gotten around to writing about it.  A fairly simple concept, it combines two of my favorite […]

Sugar (the OG treats truck) is getting the day off today as “Dot” (the second treats truck) will be making her first appearance on 38th and 5th from Noon to 3pm before heading to 6th Ave. btw. 19+20th from 4-6pm.  Owner Kim will be serving up special “swirly dots” to mark the occasion.  See you there!

The popular Frogurt (which is available at 40 Carrots inside
Bloomingdales) is now available at generic deli Printon 56 (on 56th btw.
5+6th). They’re also giving away free samples outside (although I wont
guarantee they’ll be doing that all day.)

I decided to stop by the Treats Truck yesterday after hearing rumors that the Wednesday lines have gotten crazy on 45th & 6th. Sure enough the line was down the block, and that was at 2:30!  I don’t even want to know what it’s like during peak lunch time.  That corner is easily owner Kim […]

Sorry for the spam, but as long as people want to give you guys free stuff, I will keep posting about it.  Tomorrow (Friday) is National Doughnut Day, and in honor of this most exciting occasion (I’m sorry but I freakin’ love doughnuts more than anything) the Krispy Kreme in Penn Station will be giving away free […]
