Midtown Lunch

The owner of Gourmet 53 (the great lunch spot in the basement of the building on 3rd Ave. btw. 52+53rd) checked in the other day to tell us about a great special they’re having tomorrow (November 18th)… in honor of their 15th Anniversary, Gourmet 53 will be rolling back the prices to 1994.  That means [...]

Looking for a late lunch or early dinner? The falafel joint Crisp (on 3rd & 45th and 40th and B’way) has decided to extend their any handbag sandwich for $5 after 3pm deal until the end of 2009.  Just print out this coupon to redeem the special.

In response to today’s KFC free piece of grilled chicken giveaway, Boston Market has hit back with a deal of their own. Get a whole chicken meal for just $1 with this coupon (good through the end of the week). The only Midtown location is on 58th and 10th (too far for me!), but I’m [...]

Sit down restaurants are not really what Midtown Lunch is all about.  Sure, the $10 price cap disqualifies most of them, but even so… ML is about adventure, and value, and finding something different.  Everybody knows that if you are willing to shell out the cash, and have a couple hours to spare, there are [...]

Last week Yushi (on 47th btw. Lex+Park) introduced a new bento specifically aimed at the Midtown Lunch crowd looking to get more for their money.  They call it the “Greatest Hot Hits”, and it’s got a mix of some of their more popular items all in one box.  Chicken teriyaki, 2 scallion and chive dumplings, [...]

I have never been to Foley’s (on 33rd btw. B’way+5th) and I know this is a stupid marketing gimmick… but any spot that wants to glorify Toots Shor (and by transitive property Frank Sinatra) is all right in my book.  Tomorrow (Weds 10/21) is Foley’s 2nd Annual Toots Shor day, celebrating the famous Manhattan restaurant [...]

Maybe Pop Burger’s Delivery Week deal isn’t so hot, but next week they’ll make up for it with a pretty sweet deal through 8 Coupons.  On Tuesday, 10/27 from 2-5pm you can get two pop burgers for 88 cents with this coupon via text message. And just an FYI, there are a few other decent [...]

Today’s Groupon is a good one… get $12 worth of food at the Japanese rice ball shop Oms/b (on 43rd btw. Lex+3rd) for $6.  I’m pretty sure you can buy as many coupons as you want, but you’re only allowed to use one per visit.  [Groupon]

 
After my Monday post on the Naples 45 2pm Pizza deal, I got a lot of questions about other late lunch specials in Midtown.  If you can wait until after 2pm, there are countless deals to be had by restaurants looking to pick up their afternoon business, or unload their lunch stuff before the deadness [...]
