Midtown Lunch

Bacon Now Available in Liege Form at Wafels & Dinges: Wafels & Dinges has been offering a crispy Brussels waffle with bacon and syrup for the last few years now, but it's only been available on the truck. However, this week they added bacon to the denser, chewier liege waffle- so now you can get your bacon fix at any of the Wafels & Dinges locations, including their four carts. The even better news is that they'll be in Midtown for the rest of the week. Check the ML Twitter Tracker for exact locations.
