Funniest Thing I’ve Read All Day

Yes, as reported in the NYT this morning I will cover the “arrival of a new Chipotle” (ideally because they’re giving away free burritos!) But clearly they didn’t read “The Midtown Lunch Ultimate Burrito Theory (and how it relates to Chipotle sucking)” or the Midtown Lunch post that exposed Chipotle’s posted “calorie ranges” for [...]

Baja Fresh vs. Chipotle

1:30pm today via Twitter: “@MidtownLunch  Baja Fresh still packed today, but the line at Chipotle was almost non-existant. The tide is turning.”

20 New Chain Burrito Openings in Under 3 Years A Sign of the Apocalypse?

Word has come that in addition to the two new Baja Fresh locations, we’re also getting another Chipotle on 7th Ave. btw. 37+38th and another Qdoba on 3rd Ave. and 40th Street.  That will bring the total to almost 20 new burrito chains in less than 3 years!  Don’t get me wrong… I’ll admit to [...]

Free Burrito Reminder

Don’t forget, there are free burritos today from 11am to 6pm at the newest Chipotle- opening on Madison Ave. and 39th Street.

Another Free Burrito Alert (Minus the Music)

Grub Street reports that the final new Chipotle opening in 2008 will be on Madison and 39th, on December 11th- and they’ll be celebrating old school style on December 10th with free burritos from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m.  6 p.m. No acoustic bands, no Halloween costumes, and no charity tie-in… just free food, given away to hoardes of freeloaders, [...]

Free Burrito Alert

According to this the newest Midtown Chipotle location (on 45th btw. 5+6th) will be giving away free burritos the next three Tuesdays from 5 to 7 p.m. (starting tomorrow.) Aside from the fact that it is Chipotle which I tend to only eat if it’s free, the other downside is that you have to listen to local [...]

Are You Dressed As a Burrito Today?

Eater posted a photo of the huge line for free sandwiches at Pret earlier today.  But we’re a little more interested in seeing photos of people dressed like burritos to get free food from Chipotle at 6 p.m. Photos of you (or your co-workers) are welcomed at zach@midtownlunch.com

Free Burrito Alert: Halloween at Chipotle

My dislike of Chipotle is well documented, but I have also been quoted as saying “Free Chipotle is the only good Chipotle“.  Thanks to Gen from Foodies R Goodies for passing along this information: on Friday from 6 p.m. to closing every single Chipotle in New York City will be giving away free burritos to anybody dressed up… as a [...]

No Free Burrito For You!

The newest Midtown Chipotle (on 50th & Park) is having their Grand Opening tonight, but there will be no free burritos.  Instead, a $5 donation to charity will get you a free meal and fountain drink until 9 p.m.  Tomorrow, they’ll be open for regular business at 11 a.m.

3 More McBurritos to Invade Midtown

You know what I say… the only good Chipotle is free Chipotle, and two more Chipotles opening soon in Midtown should mean two opportunities for free burritos.  The first one is on 45th Street btw. 5+6th and is tentatively scheduled to open on Monday July 14th.  Usually free burrito day is the day before the grand opening, but that [...]
