Half Off Cafe Metro: We don't normally recommend eating at Cafe Metro, but if you have to do it you might as well get 50% off!  Today's InBundles deal gets you $14 worth of food from Cafe Metro for just $7, provided you place the order online. (Which, considering the weather lately shouldn't be a problem at all!)

Hummus Kitchen Coming to Murray Hill: If you're a big fan of hummus, and work in the SE quadrant of Midtown you should be excited about this one. Hummus Kitchen, the popular Mediterranean restaurant on 9th Ave. is opening another location on 31st and 3rd Ave. [Grub Street]

Angelo Sosa Opening New Sandwich Shop in Midtown East: It turns out tomorrow's Kati Roll thing isn't the only thing Angelo Sosa has for Midtown. According to Flo Fab, the Top Chef will be opening a new sandwich shop this month called Social Eatz, in the space where Busan used to be (on 53rd btw. 2+3rd). According to the article it will feature "burgers, tacos and sandwiches, mostly inspired by the Far East." Fans of Xie Xie, get excited.

Free Steak With That Tuesday Salad?: Looking for a late (semi-healthy) lunch before heading over to check out the new Jacques Torres location in Rock Center? Tri Tip Grill has just launched a new Tuesday only special: order a large salad, and the tri tip topping is free (until 5pm).  We don't really endorse salads, but if you're going to order one I suppose it should come topped with free steak.

Two Weeks of Free Coffee Starts Today: Seamless Web is doing their "Free Coffee" promotion again this year, and it kicks off in Midtown East today.  All week long you can score free cups of coffee from a bunch of places east of 5th Ave, including Fresco on the Go, Devon & Blakely, Toasties and more.  Then, next week, it will be Midtown West's turn.  Get all the details and a full list of participating spots, here>>

Free Cupcake Alert: If you're a fan of the Sweetery NYC truck, you'll want to check out Tenka this week for a free cupcake. It's free to have the coupon sent to your phone, but only the first hundred people who take it to the truck score the freebie.   Sweetery spent the day downtown, but they should be on 9th Ave. and 59th Street from 4pm to 7:30pm tonight.
