99 Cent Breakfast: Blondie & Brownie put themselves in the unenviable position of trying the new 99 cent breakfast wrap from the Dunkin Donuts in Rock Center. The price is right, but no thanks. (Del Taco breakfast tacos, these are not.)

The New Broadway: Gothamist has your first look at the newly pedestrianized stretch of Broadway between 42nd and 47th Streets. Who cares about the traffic, what does this mean for lunchers!?

More Cupcake News: I guess when it rains cupcakes, it pours cupcakes. This just in from Lunch'er 'Risa': "FYI, The new Crumbs opened this week on Broadway between 52nd and 53rd. This is of course, across the street from my office. I'm so doomed... No word yet of any massive giveaways."
