New Crisp Location Waiting For Gas: The new location of Crisp (on 40th btw. B'way+6th) is planning on opening today... just as soon as the gas is turned on. "We are promised gas [today] as soon as we get it we will open we just don’t know at what time." Waiting until tomorrow is probably your best bet.

Perrone’s Rustica Recipe Starts A Family Feud: If seeing families fight is your thing, you'll want to check out the comments section of the Papa Perrone video post on the VendrTV website. Apparently a cousin is very angry that her mom wasn't given credit for the truck's rice ball and pizza rustica recipe.

Free Red Mango Alert: Thanks to Lunch'er Kimberly for pointing this out: There is a coupon for free Red Mango in today's Metro. Anybody know good spots to pick up a copy of the Metro in the afternoon? The two Metro bins outside the location on 8th btw. 45+46th are empty (naturally). Apparently the coupons don't expire until May.

Reichl Stalking: I freakin' love that Ruth Reichl is a Midtown Lunch'er. (If it's good enough for the Editor in Chief of Gourmet Magazine...) You could have run into her at the Trini Paki Boys cart on Monday (43rd & 6th), and Minar (on 46th btw. 6+7th) on Tuesday. [Grub Street]

Midtown David Chang Stalkers Disengage: Today is the David Chang street cart thing, and I'm hearing from a Midtown lunch'er who scored passes that (sadly) it's going to be near NYU (aka not in Midtown.) So, if you planned on stalking David Chang during your lunch hour- don't bother. (I'm basically talking to myself here...)

Panda Restaurant is Open: via NYC Foodie: "It is now officially called Panda International Restaurant (not Chinese)...that's actually kind of scary!! It looks open-but shitty." Shitty in a good way (see today's previous post), or shitty shitty? I'm still not deterred.

Things I Wish I Knew Earlier in the Day: From Lunch'er Daniel: "If you haven't heard by now, Popeye's is doing 8 pieces of chicken for $4.99 today only. At the one on 40th St (btw. 7+8th), the line had to be 30 - 40 people long around 1 p.m." I guess there is always dinner...

100% Halal & Healthy Owns 2nd Not So Healthy Cart: If you're not down with the "healthy" aspect of the "100% Halal & Healthy" cart (on 55th btw. Park+Mad), they own a second cart on 54th & Park that serves fried fish and fried shimp. [Wined and Dined]

Panda/Cello FAIL: Both Panda Restaurant (new) and Cafe Cello (closed by the DOH) on 46th btw 5+6th promised to be open today, and neither are. Just a warning if you haven't left for lunch yet.)
