Midtown Lunch

Half Off Hello Pasta: If you haven't signed up for the Gilt NYC email, here's a decent enough reason... Today deal is a two lunches for the price of one coupon for Hello Pasta. They also had a half off Frites N Meats deal, but it's already sold out. (There is a "wait list", whatever that means.)

Steak Truck Starts Baking It’s Own Bread?: On the ML Twitter Tracker today... Korilla BBQ is on 55th, Rickshaw has trucks on 50th and 52nd, Mexicue is on 44th, Schnitzel Truck is on 46th, Eddie's Pizza is on 52nd, Wafels & Dinges is on 52nd, Frites N Meats is on 52nd, Papa Perrone is off today, and the Steak Truck announces that it will now bake all it's bread right on the truck.

Woorijip Serves Spaghetti & Meatballs?!: We love Woorijip, the Korean take out spot on 32nd btw. B'way+5th, but not everything at Woorijip is loved. For example, as obvious as this sounds in retrospect, don't bother with their version of spaghetti and meatballs.

Free Pasta Alert: On the ML Twitter Tracker today... Korilla BBQ is on 46th, NYC Cravings is on 50th, Rickshaw is on 41st, Frites N Meats is on 46th, Street Sweets is closed for the day, and finally today is World Pasta Day so Hello Pasta is giving away a free pasta dish with the purchase of any pasta+drink until 12:30pm with this flyer.

This weekend, Pies n Thighs, Roberta's Pizza, Fatty Cue and all the other tasty options at the Mad. Sq. Mark't will be packing up and heading home. Check it out before it's too late.

Lan Sheng is Best Of New York: The Village Voice's best of New York City issue is out, and while there's not much Midtown Lunch'ing fodder on the list, Lan Sheng (on 39th btw. 5+6th) was chosen by Sarah DiGregorio as being home to one of her ten favorite dishes in all of New York City. Nice!

Lamb Stew FTW!: On the ML Twitter Tracker today... Papa Perrone is back on 55th with Italian sausage, Steak Truck is back on 47th, Korilla BBQ is back on 55th, NYC Cravings is on 53rd, Joyride is on 52nd, Eddie's Pizza is on 52nd, Wafels & Dinges is on 46th, and Schnitzel & Things is on 52nd with a limited amount of lamb stew!?

Get 50% off FIKA: It's been awhile since we mentioned FIKA Swedish Espresso Bar (on 58th btw. 5+6th) but if you're a fan (meatball sandwich FTW!) you'll want to take advantage of this:  Get 50% off your order (up to a $13 discount) at FIKA with this free coupon from Scoutmob. The deal is only good at the Midtown location, and you have to sign up for it before tonight at Midnight.

Cheesesteak Deal: I think once the New York Daily News gets into the daily deals email game it's safe to say this is getting out of control! Or we can just keep our mouths shut, and continue taking advantage of all this cheap food. Today's offer is 50% off Shorty's, the Philly cheesesteak spot on 9th Ave (btw 41+42nd). Just an FYI, you have to purchase the deal before tonight at Midnight.
