At Lunch Now: Rain Can’t Stop the Line at Num Pang

As promised Num Pang (on 41st btw. Lex+3rd) officially opened to the public today, and from the looks of things not even rain can keep the people of Midtown East away from Cambodian sandwiches. Also of note… between now and June 29th if you twitter a picture expressing your love for Num Pang (and cc’ @numpang and #mynumpang), you’ll be entered to win a dinner for 10.

At Lunch Now: Num Pang is Maybe Kind of Open Now?

Num Pang’s official Midtown opening is not until tomorrow, but we’re getting reports that people are scoring lunch today!  We were told that only people who had some kind of special coupon would be served today, and the PR people insist that they are not open to the public, but Lunch’er NOLA Steve claims in the comments that he went down there and got a sandwich.  We have been told that the restaurant will close for a private event sometime between 3 and 4pm, so if you’re in the area looking for a late lunch you might just get lucky if you swing by.  Good luck!

Num Pang Midtown Opens Tomorrow (With Two New Sandwiches!)

Long before I was Flatiron Lunching, I was making special trips to Union Square to get to Num Pang’s original 12th Street location. Their Cambodian sandwiches aren’t just a twist on the Banh Mi we’ve all come to love. Instead they use the similar flavors as a jumping off point to play with ingredients from pork belly to mackerel in fun and interesting ways. When I found out that a new branch was opening on 41st btw. Lex+3rd (not 10 blocks from my office) I was psyched. The new shop opens tomorrow, but they did a preview on Tuesday as a test run of their ordering system, and we couldn’t help but go check it out.

Last month we passed along the news that popular Union Square sandwich shop Num Pang would be opening a Midtown location, and if you’ve walked down 41st btw. Lex+3rd recently you’ve seen that it’s coming along.  In fact they’ve started to send out “preview” invitations for next week, so it’s looking like we’re only a few weeks away from Cambodian sandwich goodness right here in Midtown.  Can’t wait that long?  We’ve convinced them to allow one Midtown Lunch’er (and a guest) in for a sneak lunch or dinner preview of the shop on Tuesday (6/21) .  Interested?  All you have to do to enter to win is comment below on why it should be you.  Winner will be drawn on Monday morning at 11am.  Good luck!
