Midtown Lunch

Get $2 Off Manchester Pub Chx & Waffles: Apparently it's Soul Food Month (who knew?) so Manchester Pub, the just out of bounds bar on 2nd Ave. btw. 47+48th, is offering $2 off their most popular dishes: the chicken and waffles and their hawg wings.

Downtown Trucks Having Trouble As Well: I guess it's not just 51st and 52nd streets around 6th Ave. that are experiencing a food truck crackdown.  Our Downtown site reported yesterday that Hudson Street might be under fire as well. Don't know if it's related to what's going on in Midtown, but it sounds like the the chatter on the street has been ratcheted up a bit over the past few weeks...

Cer Te’s June Sandwich Delayed: If you were hoping to get a taste of the “Chubby Porky” today, Cer Te's June sandwich of the month, you're going to have to wait until next week.  Cindy (aka "Chubby Chinese Girl") couldn't make it in to test the sandwich until today so they've put it off for one week.  They do, however, have the Fall of Saigon today.

Where To Get Cold Brewed Coffee In Midtown: Last week Eater published a guide to cold brewed coffee in NYC, and we noted that the closest venue to Midtown was Stumptown in the Ace Hotel (on 29th Street.)  Not so says Lunch'er Chris in the comments... you can also get cold brewed coffee at Culture Espresso Bar (on 38th btw. 5+6th) and Lucid Cafe (on 38th & 6th). Anywhere else? Put it in the comments.

Treat Yourself This Weekend: to a pair of tickets to the Midtown Lunch 5th Birthday Party. Not only does your ticket get you a ton of great food and drink, but it benefits the Street Vendor Project.

Num Pang is Expanding to Midtown!!!: If you're a fan of Num Pang, the popular Cambodian sandwich shop just south of Union Square, Eater broke some huge news yesterday just for you.   The second location that they've been planning for the past month is going to be on 41st btw. Lex+3rd.  No word on when it will open, but you better believe we'll be there on opening day!

Last Chance For $1 Goodburger: Since burger month ends on Tuesday, today is the last day for Goodburger's "Single For a Single" burger promotion.  From 3-5pm today you'll be able to get a single Goodburger with the works for just $1.  Limit 5 per customer, good for in store purchase only.

Free Hot Dog Alert: This just in... the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile is parked on 45th and Broadway handing out free hot dogs.  Try not to look too excited, get up slowly from your desk, move calmly towards the nearest exit, and once your feet hit the pavement... run like the wind!  Not sure how long they'll be there... (we're hearing 1pm?)
