Midtown Lunch

Despite Snow, Feed Your Hole is Open For Business: After a day of nonsense in the comments we finally get to see if Feed Your Hole can back up the swagger. Despite the snow, they're parked on 50th btw. 6+7th. Also on the ML Twitter Tracker, Mexicue is on 45th, Cupcake Stop is on 40th, Rickshaw is on 52nd, Schnitzel is on 46th, Eddie's Pizza is on 52nd, Wafels is on 52nd, and Papa Perrone is back.

Lease Dispute Threatens to Close Carnegie Deli: According to this article in the Post the Carnegie Deli might be forced to close if its neighbor doesn't agree to re-lease some shared space to the Midtown institution.  Carnegie Deli isn't really a Midtown Lunch (with their high prices and crazy sharing charges!), but it is the best corned beef and pastrami in Midtown. We'd be a little sad to see it go. [via Eater]

Get Half Off Naya Express: We're big fans of Naya Express, the Lebanese fast food place on 3rd Ave. btw. 43+44th.  If you are too (or you haven't checked it out yet) you'll want to get on this new deal from InBundles:  get $10 of food at Naya Express for just $5.  The only downside?  You can only use the coupon after 2pm.

NYC Big Deal Book Now Free to ML Readers: Here's a special deal for Midtown Lunch readers... the 2011 NYC Big Deal Book, normally $35, is free for ML readers through Monday. Use the code "MIDTOWNLUNCH" at checkout and all you have to pay is $5 shipping and handling.  Not a bad deal for freebies and discounts at Bian Dang, Cer Te, Eddie's Pizza Truck, Frites N Meats, Hello Pasta, and more.

Half Off AJ Maxwell’s Lunch Specials: It's been awhile since we mentioned the lunch specials at A.J. Maxwell's (on 48th btw. 5+6th) but apparently they're still doing them.  And if you want to pay half price today's In Bundles deal features $12 at A.J. Maxwell's for just $6 (plus the deal lets you get fries as your side dish.)

Half off Sullivan Street Bakery: This is waaaay out of bounds (on 47th btw. 10+11th), but totally worth the trek. Today's Groupon gets you $10 worth of stuff from Sullivan St. Bakery for just $5.

Broadway Pizza War Really Sounds Like War: I guess we weren't the only ones who noticed that Ray's started selling 75 cent slices last week. The New York Daily News recently spotlighted the battle going on between Ray's and 99 Cent Fresh Pizza right now on Broadway.  They got quotes from both sides, although the guys from Ray's were trying to play it off like the price reduction had nothing to do with the new competition.  Riiiiight.  [via Gothamist]

Happy Birthday to ML Philly: Yesterday Jamie celebrated the one year Anniversary of Midtown Lunch: Philadelphia by posting a montage of all the lunches she ate this year. It's not quite as large as Zach's end of the year photo, but he's way grosser and fatter, and she has self esteem and is a full time law school student.  Well done, and congrats!

Taim Mobile Introduces Sabich Special: It looks like Taim has figured out a way to sell their famous sabich on board their new food truck, because today they debuted the sandwich downtown as a special. It was supposed to be a one day special, but they're considering serving it again tomorrow in Midtown. Is that something you think we maybe might be interested in?

Free Cuban Sandwich Alert: Tenka has released a whole new group of freebies to places in South Midtown and the Flatiron, including a free sandwich at the Tina's Cuban on Madison (btw. 33+34th). The coupons are all free, but you have to be one of the first 100 people to redeem them to the score the deal. Check out the complete list here>>
