Midtown Lunch

If you don’t mind giving up your cell phone number, Tenka has offered some pretty great food truck freebies through their service.   But nothing like this!  Today they launched what they’re calling the “First Annual Virtual Food Truck Festival” featuring 10 simultaneous freebies, from 10 great food trucks- most of whom park in Midtown at least one day a week.  Unlike most deal sites, this isn’t a discount… it’s straight up free food. The catch is only the first 100 people who bring the coupon to each food truck score the freebie, so you’ve got to be quick.  Check out all ten freebies here>>

It’s St. Patrick’s Day! Timing for the eating o’ the green treats. If you’re courageous enough to brave the emerald clad revelers, there are some St. Patty’s Day treats awaiting you at Treats Truck including: cupcakes, crispy treats, and four leaf clover sugar cookies. And Robicellis is now delivering to Joe the Art of Coffee in Grand Central on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, so Joe should have a selection of their holiday cupcakes: Irish Soda Bread (with a clotted cream buttercream & Drambuie soaked raisins), Irish Coffee (Bailey’s-espresso cake & buttercream, ganache, crushed white chocolate) and the Car Bomb (Chocolate Guinness stout cake, Bailey’s buttercream, Jameson whiskey ganache). Lily O’Brien’s will be getting a delivery of these flavors tomorrow for those of you still celebrating on Friday (or needing something to get over your hangover).

Also Shake Shack is serving up Mint Chocolate Chip Custard, and if you tell your server “Get Lucky” at The Counter in Times Square they’ll give you a green beer or green shake for just $3. “Like” The Counter on Facebook and show it to them (on your phone or a printout) they’ll give you the shake for free.
