2010 Was a Big Year for Midtown?: If Eater's end of the year lists are any indication, 2010 was a banner year for Midtown. The BK Whopper Bar and Sam Sifton getting photographed eating at a Midtown KFC made the Top 10 National Stories of the Year, while Pop Tarts and Pizzacones showed up on the NYC Top 10. Plus some guy from Urbandaddy almost named us Best Food Neighborhood. Almost.

So You’re Going to Try and Eat Healthy For the New Year: If you thought L.A. was going to change our fearless leader, guess again. Zach begrudgingly posted the healthiest lunches he's willing to eat, and it's not exactly slimming. Looking for ideas closer to home? His Midtown list from last year is still appropriate for those resolved to eat "healthy" in the new year (wink wink).

Soup’s Up on the Streets of Midtown: After a pretty dead week, the ML Twitter Tracker seems to be coming back to life today. Taim Mobile is on 46th with Moroccan vegetable soup, Cupcake Stop is on 40th, Wafels & Dinges is on 45th, Korilla is on 55th, Frites N Meats is on 52nd, Mexicue is on 55th, and Uncle Gussy is on 51st with mama's lentil soup.

Half Off Korean Fried Chicken: Bon Chon is running away in the 2010 Best Korean Fried Chicken Poll, and now here's your chance to run away with a great Korean fried chicken deal. Today's KGB coupon gets you $40 worth of Bon Chon for just $20 at the 5th Ave location, during lunch for dine in only.

Free Wafels & Dinges Alert: Did you miss out on the last W&D freebie on Tenka?  Well, they're giving you another chance. The first hundred people who take this coupon to the Wafels & Dinges truck get a free waffle and dinge. There is one catch.  If you were one of the lucky 100 who got the last free wafel, we don't think you're eligible for this one.

Bian Dang (aka NYC Cravings) is Now Open!?: Not much action on the ML Twitter Tracker today, except for this bombshell... It sounds like the branch of NYC Cravings (now known as Bian Dang) in the Koreatown food court (on 32nd btw. B'way+5th) is now open.  Early adopters, let us know how it is!

Free Korean Burrito Alert: You'll have to wait for the snow to clear before you can redeem it, but today's Tenka coupon gets you a free korean burrito from the Korilla BBQ Truck.  Anybody can get the free coupon, but it only works for the first hundred people  who use it.

A Year of Lunching in One Gigantic Photo: It was an annual end of the year tradition for Zach to post one gigantic photo of every lunch he ate all year long.  He's in Los Angeles now, so if you want to see this year's photo you'll have to check it out over on the L.A. section of the site...

Free Wafels & Dinges Alert: Remember that website Tenka we told you about a few weeks ago? Well their latest freebie is a good one. One free waffle and dinge from the Wafels and Dinges Truck. Anybody can snag the coupon, but only the first hundred people who take it to the truck score the freebie. (And they should be on 46th btw. 5+6th right now.)
