ChaPa’s Noodles & Grill Opening Today?: Back in October we told you that a place called ChaPa's Noodles & Grill would be taking over the old Bombay Eats space (on 52nd btw. 8+9th), and according to Zagat it's opening today (and it's Vietnamese!) We were definitely bummed to lose Indian pizza, but if it means getinng good Vietnamese food in Midtown it was worth the trade!

$5 off of $10 order from Seamless Web: We here at Midtown Lunch advocate getting out of the office for lunch whenever possible, but with weather like this, ordering in might just be the best idea. According to RetailMeNot, delivery site Seamless Web has a coupon for $5 off orders of $10 or more for new users. If you've ordered from them before, track down someone in the office who hasn't. It's worth it just to avoid going outside.

Free Squagel Alert: Cosi is now making "squagels" (aka square bagels) from scratch every day in their hearth (who knew!?), and to celebrate they're giving them away for free tomorrow morning (Weds, 1/26) from 8-9am. Considering that the bread is the best thing about Cosi, this might actually be worth it (as long as we don't have to say "squagel".) Find the location nearest you here>>
