Peter Bjorn & John Want To Give You Free Wafels: The band Peter Bjorn & John are in town today, and will be giving away free waffles as part of their "All You Can Eat" Tour.  Starting at 12:30pm, the first 35 people who hit up the Wafels & Dinges truck on 52nd btw. 6+7th and say "Gimme some waffles" score a free WMD.  [via Eater]

Cer Te Also Taking The $5 Slow Food Challenge Today: It turns out 'wichcraft isn't the only spot in Midtown offering a special $5 lunch today in honor of tomorrow's Slow Food Challenge. Cer Te has followed their lead and will be offering a "“Slowwww Vegetable Lasagna”, for just $5 today. It features roasted local vegetables, NY state goat bechamel, the sauce is made from Jersey tomatoes and it will be available at both Cer Te (on 55th btw. 5+6th) and Pizza by Cer Te (on 56th btw. Park+Lex).

Half Off Lunch Specials Euro Diner: We've never tried any of the lunch specials at Euro Diner (on 3rd Ave. & 36th street), but this seems like as good a reason as any to change that. Today's KGB Deal gets you $20 worth of lunch food at Euro Diner for just $10.

Falafel, Kimchi, Pizza and Ice Cream: Papa Perrone is on 55th btw. 5+6th, Crisp on Wheels is on 51st btw. Park+Mad, Kimchi Truck is on 47th & Lex, Bob & Jo is on Vanderbilt btw. 46+47th, Eddie's Pizza is on 46th & 6th, Sweetery is on 50th btw. 6+7th, and Coolhaus is on 38th btw. 5+6th, but naturally you should check the ML Twitter Tracker before heading out.

Salume Kiosk is Now Open in Times Square: According to Eater, the Salume kiosk in Times Square that we told you about last month is now open.  Apparently the  menu features "their top ten best-selling paninis with two additional vegetarian options, at a twenty percent discount", delivered every hour by moped from their Soho location. Early adopters, let us know how it is.

Half Off Previti Pizza: Today's InBundles deal is a good one for anybody who likes Previti Pizza (on 41st btw. Lex+Park).  The good news is, the deal gets you half off. The bad news?  You've gotta buy $24 worth of food, and the whole bundle must be used in one visit, so you might want to team up with a co-worker on this one.  Also of note in the fine print: Fridays are EXTREMELY busy at Previti, so they recommend ordering your pizza two hours in advance.  Duly noted.

Free Cupcake Alert: We don't know nothing about Fashion Week, but we'll take some after work free cupcakes!  Tonight at 6pm the Cupcake Stop Truck will be in front of the Guess Store on 5th Ave. and 47th Street handing out hundreds of free cupcakes for Fashion's Night Out.  Freeloaders, prepare to engage.

Half Off Pie: I could never bring myself to shell out $30+ for a regular sized pie at Little Pie Company, but today's Google Offer should help a bit. Get $20 worth of pie, cookies, coffee and more at the Little Pie Company location on 43rd btw. 9+10th for just $10.

2 for Tuesday at Pizza by Cer Te: It's been awhile since they did one of these... Pizza by Cer Te (on 56th btw Park+Lex) wants to welcome you back from the long weekend with a little 2 for Tuesday action.  Get two slices of margherita pizza for just $2 all day long.

Free Sandwich Alert: Just got word that Earl of Sandwich (on 52nd btw. 5+6th) is open right now and giving free sandwiches. It's a complete mad house (naturally), and we're not sure how long it's going to last, but if you work in the area and haven't had lunch yet, it might be worth stopping by.
