Midtown Lunch

Potbelly’s Secret Menu Available at Rock Center: Great news for those of you who wanted to try Potbelly's secret sandwiches, but didn't want to trek to 44th btw. Lex+3rd... the secret, off the menu options are now available at the Rock Center concourse location as well.  Thanks to Lunch'er Justin for the tip!

Win A Copy of the Treats Truck Book: If you didn't enter the contest to win a copy of The Treats Truck's new cookbook, today is your last chance. Just tell us your favorite Treats Truck treat in the comments of last week's Kim Ima Profile and you're entered to win one of five copies we have to give away! You have until 5pm this afternoon.

Learn to Make Pizza by Cer té: Ever wanted to try making pizza at home?  Why not start with the pizza from Pizza by Cer Te (on 56th btw. Park+Lex).  The good folks over at Serious Eats posted a recipe the other day detailing how to make Pizza by Cer té's seriously good looking cauliflower "Merguez" pizza. Or you could always just buy a slice in person (we prefer the latter).

Trini Paki Cart is Back: You may have noticed that Trini Paki Boys have not been at their usual spot on 43rd and Sixth at all this week. Rest assured that Fatima is doing much better and this has nothing to do with her health. They just had to bring the cart in for its annual inspection, which sometimes takes multiple days so they may not be back until early next week. UPDATE: Aaaaand, they're back (along with a recuperated Fatima.) Woo Hoo!

$12 for $24 at AJ Maxwell’s: Today, InBundles is offering $24 of food at AJ Maxwell's for $12 (on 48th btw. 5+6th). The deal is for dine-in lunch only and is good on their entree sized sandwiches and salads. $12 is still over the ML limit, but if you're looking for a splurge lunch this could be the deal for you!

Shhhh… the Treats Truck is on 45th!: Here's a nice little present for the day after we profiled Kim and gave away copies of the new Treats Truck book... they'll be parked on 45th & 6th today from 11:30am to 3pm! (Just like the old days.)  Also on the ML Twitter Tracker, Papa Perrone is on 55th, Comme Ci Comme Ca is on 52nd & Park, Bob & Jo is on Vanderbilt, Crisp on Wheels is on 49th & Park, Kimchi Truck is on 55th & 6th, Rickshaw is on 50th & 6th, Red Hook Lobster is on 47th & Lex, and there's a Wafel cart on 40th & 8th.

MoMA’s Second Floor Galleries To Smell Like Curry: According to the New York Times, a new exhibit on Moma's second floor that runs from Nov. 17th to February 8th will include a free Thai curry lunch available daily from noon to 3, except on Fridays when it will be served from 4 to 7.  Of course "free" is a slightly deceptive term considering it costs $25 to get into the museum, but for those who have memberships this could be a great lunch option!

Last Chance to Win a Free Lunch on Google & Us: You've got less than 12 hours left to enter the Google Places and Midtown Lunch contest. Up to 75 winners will get a free lunch with us this week at Koreatown favorite Food Gallery 32.

More About Papa Perrone’s Move to the FiDi: You may or may not have heard rumors that Papa Perrone might be moving to a permanent location in the Financial District?  Well, the Downtown section of our site has the full scoop.  There is still no definite answer as to what will happen to the truck, but according to the ML Twitter Tracker it's still parking on 55th btw. Mad+5th for now.
