Midtown Lunch

It’s a new month and that means new sandwich specials at both Cer Te (on 55th btw. 5+6th) and Pizza by Cer Te (on 56th btw. Park+Lex)! Cer Te’s getting their summer lobster fix on early with lobster salad on a sweet and savory french toast (whoa) to make for the Count of Stonington. But the one that I’m most excited about is Pizza By Cer Te’s new ravioli burger.  What’s a ravioli burger you ask?  Try a jumbo meatball sandwiched between two house made raviolis.  Done and done.  Early adopters, let us know what you think in the comments.

Earlier this month, we reported news of Certe’s latest sandwich of the month, the Chip and Crab Dip. There’s not a whole lot to this one – it’s ale battered soft shell crab with bibb lettuce on a potato roll. It’s served with some potato chips, hot sauce, and a tasty remoulade sauce on the side.

Yes please.  Starts tomorrow at Cer Te (on 55th btw. 5+6th) and is available through the month of May.

On Tuesday, we announced Certe’s latest sandwich of the month, This Little Piggy. I was intrigued enough by the description to stop by and check it out because I don’t think I’d ever eaten a sandwich on a waffle before, yet alone one encrusted with cheese.  To say this “sandwich” is an interesting one would be a huge understatement.

Every Tuesday is Fat Tuesday for some of us, but today it’s the actual Fat Tuesday… and to celebrate Cer Te (on 55th btw. 5+6th) has got some specials planned just for today.  As you can see from their flyer they’re planning to have chicken etouffee ($11.25), dirty rice as a side ($3.95), shrimp gumbo as a soup ($5.20) and a po’ boy dip ($9.95). What’s in that, you might be asking?  Try braised beef, caramelized peppers and onions, gruyere, mustard, and pickles on a garlic baguette.  Of course it comes with au jus on the side.  I highly doubt it will transport you to Mother’s, but it’ll do.

Cer Te, 20 W 55th St. (btw 5+6th). 212-397-2020

If you’re a fan of Pizza by Cer Te‘s margherita slices, but don’t like paying full price, you’ll be excited to know that they’re doing another one of their Two For Tuesday specials today.  Starting at Noon today you’ll be able to get two slices of pizza for just $2 at their location on 56th btw. Park+Lex.  And that’s not all.  Over at sister restaurant Cer Te (on 55th btw. 5+6th) they’re introducing their Feb. sandwich of the month today.  It’s a pambazo, and features chorizo, potatoes, lettuce, caramelized onions, queso fresco, salsa verde and sour cream stuffed inside a torta roll that’s been dipped into Guajilla sauce. As always, the sandwich will run you $8.95.  Early adopters, let us know what you think in the comments.

Certe (55th btw 5th+6th) and Pizza by Certe (56th btw Park+Lex) are great go-to for savory options, but they aren’t slacking when it comes to picking up an afternoon treat. Their latest sweet is a Chocolate Cherry Pecan Lizardi and what’s wonderful about it is that your gluten-free coworkers can get in on the action!
