Midtown Lunch

Mexicue Teams Up With Tortilleria Nixtamal!: Huge news spotted on the ML Twitter Tracker this morning... Mexicue, the newish Mexican/BBQ truck, has started serving tortillas procured from Tortilleria Nixtamal, the Queens tortilleria that we were introduced to at last year's Choice Eats festival. Mexicue is off today but they should be parked near Bryant Park tomorrow.

Mai Cuisine is “Officially” Open: Last week we reported that Chiyoda Sushi's replacement Mai Cuisine had opened on 41st btw. Mad+5th, but according to Grub Street the "official" grand opening was yesterday. They also noted that one of the chefs used to work under Iron Chef Morimoto, and Mai is owned by the company who supplies all the sushi to Whole Foods (is that a good thing or bad thing?)

Another 50% off Le Relais de Venise L’Entrecôte: If yesterday's coupon wasn't enough for you, here is yet another way to get a fancy steak lunch Le Relais de Venise L'Entrecôte at a discount. Today's Groupon gets you a $36 gift certificate for just $18. The only thing that sucks is you need to use it all at once, so you might want to go in on this one with a friend.

Street Meat Pizza Reminder: Don't forget, Eddie's Pizza Truck and Rafiqi's will be teaming up to offer a limited number of street meat topped pizzas today.  They'll be parked on 52nd & Park and recommend calling ahead to score one. Also on the ML Twitter Tracker today: Schnitzel is on 52nd, Joyride is on 52nd, Wafels is on 46th, and 4Food won't be taking online orders until next week (because of yesterday.)

More Free Street Sweets: The free stuff just keeps on coming from the Street Sweets Truck this week... today they'll once again be giving away over 1000 treats from their black and white co-branded Saks Fifth Avenue truck. This time it will be parked in front of the Hearst Building (on 8th Ave. btw. 56+57th) from 10am to 2pm.  Freeloaders, engage.

20% off Fancy French Steak: You know we don't like to spend more than $10 on lunch, but there are a few splurges we are admittedly interested in... like Le Relais de Venise L'Entrecote, the French steak place on Lex and 52nd. If you feel the same way, use this coupon to get 20% off during lunch for the entire month of September. Even with the discount it's still almost $20, but it helps.

Free Street Sweets Redux: The Street Sweets Truck is back at it again today... they're parked on 42nd, just off of 6th Ave. with their black and white co-branded Sak's Fifth Avenue truck giving away over 1000 treats until 2pm. Want to know what everyone else is doing? The Twitter Tracker is back up and running again>>

$1 Pizza by Cer Te Alert: Remember Pizza by Cer Te's two for $2 Tuesday promotion back in July?  Well, they're doing it again today.  Get two margherita slices for just $2 all day long starting at Noon today.  Pizza by Cer Te is on 56th btw. Park+Lex.  [via NYC Daily Deals]

Free Street Sweets Alert: Is there a better way to be welcomed back from a long weekend than with free stuff?  The Street Sweets Truck is teaming up with Saks Fifth Avenue (how street food'ish!) to give away 1500 treats today.  They'll be parked from 9-10:30am at Saks (on 49th btw. Mad+5th) before moving on to Park btw. 52+53rd from 11am to 4pm.  Freeloaders, engage.

Hurricane + Holiday Weekend = Slow Friday: The ML Twitter Tracker is still broken, but it doesn't much matter today... Eddie's Pizza is on Park btw. 26+27th, Cupcake Stop is on 29th and 7th, and Wafels and Dinges is on 52nd btw. 6+7th.  But that's pretty much it.  (Eggstravaganza & Jamaican Dutchy are where they always are.) If there are any more updates, we'll add it to this post as they come in.
