70% off Cafe Metro: You know how we feel about Cafe Metro... but you also know how we feel about great deals. Funny how 70% off makes a generic Midtown chain palatable! KGB Deals is offering a $10 gift certificate to Cafe Metro for just $3 on their site today. (For a good laugh, note the quotes from "notoriously finicky yelpers".) [via 8coupons]

Free Iced Coffee Alert: Half priced frappuccinos are nice, but free is always better. Today from 4pm to 10pm Dunkin Donuts will be giving away free iced coffee. Afternoon pick-me-up needing freeloaders engage. [Blondie and Brownie]

Frappuccino Happy Hour?: A little tip for all cheapo ice coffee drinkers: all this week Starbucks will be selling their Frappuccino's at half price from 3-5pm. Of course 'wichcraft has been doing this same thing for over a year now, daily from 3-6pm. I suppose it's a good deal, but if they really want to call it a happy hour, they'd throw some rum in there or something.

Thanks to Lunch’er “Adam” for tipping us off to the new Friday Kati Roll special at Indus Express (on 48th btw. 5+6th). The guy behind the counter said you can get any Kati Roll for $5 (normally they’re $5.95 to $7.95 depending on the filling) and though I didn’t see it listed on the menu, he also confirmed that the special also comes with the usual small salad and fries (like the one Zach initially tried). Not bad for $5. My experiences at Indus Express have always been a hit or miss. They have a solid chaat bar, but their steam table curries are pretty lacking and the nearby Minar schools them in Tikka Masala. That said, we’re always willing to give a good lunch special a try. I think I know what I’m having for lunch today…

In celebration of Mothers Day this Sunday (you got your mom a present, right!) the Street Sweets Truck will be giving away 1,000 cupcakes on Friday specifically to Moms. After starting their day in Mommy-central Park Slope (7th and Carroll from 9-11am), they plan on hitting Midtown from Noon to 3pm, parking on 50th Street and 6th Avenue (before finishing up on 7th & B’way from 3:30 to 6:30pm.) No word on whether you actually need a child present in order to get your cupcake on- but we all know I will totally borrow a child for some free cupcakes. Freeloading moms engage!

Free Ice Cream Alert: Thanks to Lunch'er Ben for this tip... Carvel will be giving away free cups of their new low fat ice cream and flavor shots today, but be forewarned- the only location that is participating in Midtown is the one in 1 Penn Plaza. (The one on B'way says "no free ice cream for you!") Freeloaders engage.

Free Burger Alert, BOGO Fancy Lunch: Neither of these spots are Midtown Lunches but free is free right?! Text the word FLIP2 to #89800 and get a free burger from Flip Burger in Bloomingdales (coupon good until 5/15, while supplies last.) Also, if you go to Fishtail today with somebody and call them your assistant, you'll get two $24 price fixe lunches for the price of one. [Wined and Dined; Eater]

Free Coffee Alert: In honor of Earth Day tomorrow (4/22), Oren's Daily Roast (in Midtown on 51st and 3rd Ave.) will be giving away free coffee to anybody who brings in a regular mug or resusable travel mug from 10am - closing. The deal is good at all locations except Grand Central, because they only sell beans. Midtown East freeloaders... don't forget your mugs tomorrow.
