Get 50% off Piada (and the In N Out Rip Off)

It’s been awhile since we mentioned Piada, that weird Italian quesadilla spot in the basement of the Citicorp building on 53rd and Lex.  If you’re a fan (or you’ve always been curious to try it) Groupon has a special today that gets you $12 worth of food for just $6. Also available today in the daily deal email world… Flatiron lunchers can get $10 worth of food from that burger joint Fresh N Fast (the In N Out rip off on 23rd and Park) for just $5.  Enjoy!

Free Ice Cream Cancelled By Rain: Once again Maxwell Medical is paying a Mister Softee Truck to park on 53rd and Madison today, and hand out free ice cream from Noon to 1:45pm. Same rules apply as last week... to get free ice cream you'll need to grab one of the massage fliers being handed out by the MM reps who will be in the area. Sorry... this just got canceled because of the rain.

Free Chik-fil-A and Popsicles Alert: Midtown has hit the jackpot today.  According to Twitter Chik-fil-A will be stopping at Pulitzer Fountain (on 5th Ave. btw. 58+59th) sometime after 12pm. And if you missed the People's Pops giveaway on Weds, you have one last chance to get free pops today at East 41st b/w 3rd and Lex from 12-1:30pm. Freeloaders, you know what to do...

New York Finally Gets Free Chick-Fil-A!

Chick-fil-a has long been high up on the long wishlist of food options that Midtown Lunchers have been clamoring for. With the exception of a sole location in the NYU food court (closed for the summer), the entire city is without the combination of luscious chicken filets wrapped between soft, buttery rolls and topped with a tangy pickle. And if that weren’t bad enough, a couple years ago, the company started making annual trips to our fair city offering their delicious sandwiches for free to the media elites on “Cow Appreciation Day”. It’s so upsetting, we felt the need to issue PSAs warning Lunchers to not get too excited if they saw Chick-fil-a employees wandering around Midtown with giant cases full of southern delights.

Well, Chick Fil A has finally responded to our pain!

Free Mister Softee (And Medical Massages) Are Back

Peoples pops isn’t the only thing being given away for free today in Midtown. For the third year in a row, Maxwell Medical will be promoting their 30 minute medical massages by giving away free Mister Softee all summer long.  Today is the first giveaway, and it’s going down on 40th 42nd Street and 2nd Ave. from Noon to 2pm.  Just make sure you grab one of the fliers being handed out by the Maxwell Medical reps in the area… you can’t get a free ice cream without them.  (Don’t worry too much, we’re pretty sure they stand right in front of the truck with them.)

Free Iced Tea Alert: If you do plan on venturing out in this heat for lunch... Crisp, the falafel joint with two locations in Midtown, will give you a free iced tea with the purchase of any sandwich or bowl.

Goodburger Grand Opening Special: New Combo for $5

The newest Goodburger (on 8th Ave. btw. 57+58th) is now open and it’s already making waves.  Apparently they’re testing out a slightly different menu at the new location.  In order to offer more affordable options, they’ve introduced a new “single” burger which is 4oz instead of 5.5oz.  The “classic” 5.5oz burger is still available, but for those who want to spend a bit less money they’ll now have the “single” option.  We’ve never really subscribed to the less is more thing, but just an FYI- the burger at the Shake Shack is 4oz.  And, the best news about this change is that now a combo at the new Goodburger, with a “single” burger, fries and a soda will run you a ML friendly $8.27 (at the other Goodburger locations, a combo with the 5.5oz burger goes for $10.35.)  There’s also a smaller milkshake option, and a new ice cream sandwich dessert.  With all the burger craziness going on in Midtown these days (Shake Shake, Bill Bar & Burger, 4Food, and the Counter are all coming soon) it’s no surprise that Goodburger would want to shake things up a bit… and I have to say it’s nice to see a Goodburger combo finally come in under the $10 mark.

The new option is only available at the newly opened 8th Ave. location, but if the response is good they’ll roll it out to the other locations. Want to try it out for yourself?  Today only, from 11am to 3pm you can get the new Goodburger Combo #1 for just $5.  All you have to do to score the deal is mention Midtown Lunch. (Only available in the new store on 8th Ave. btw. 57+58th.  Not for delivery, limit one per customer.

Want to check out the new menu?  It’s after the jump.
