Get Half Off At Pinche On Mott: We have yet to review the goods at Pinche Taqueria, but the location on Mott St. (btw. Prince & Spring) has a deal on Scoutmob today for 50% off, with a maximum discount of $5. It looks like you have to eat there to get the deal, but it might be worth it for a super cheap taco lunch.

The string of Vietnamese restaurants on Baxter St. between Bayard St. and Walker are among my favorite places to eat in Chinatown and although I’ve tried the pho at Nha Trang, I’d never eaten at Thai Son . Since it was a sweltering summer day, I bypassed the pho section of the menu and instead went for some bun with a mix of Vietnamese spring rolls and grilled pork on top. The generic “grilled pork” on the menu sounds pretty basic, and it is, but calling it pork candy may be more accurate.

In honor of Lord Kelvin’s birthday, the Kelvin Slush truck has some free icy treats to give us. They are giving away 273 free slushes at the Lent Space at Varick & Grand from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. You can find the details here or on their Twitter, but my advice would be to go early because I think we all love free stuff, and these are some top notch slushes.

Once the temperatures hit 80 degrees or higher, my lunchtime thoughts turn from lamb over rice to what I can eat that won’t make me feel even hotter and disgusting. I guess eating ice cream for lunch everyday isn’t a feasible option, but a sandwich with cold ingredients is. Zucker’s Bagels on Chambers St. (btw. W. Broadway & Greenwich) is one of those places that’s little off the radar come lunch time, but wouldn’t you know they have a lot of sandwich options involving smoked fish, and some of them are less than $10. When the heat got to me late last week I headed over for some gravlax eaten between bagel halves. Read more »

A program called the Melting Pot Obscurities is coming to the Vesuvio Playground at Spring St. & Thompson on Wednesday from 1 to 2:30 p.m. What is this, you might be asking? Well, a guy named Eric Zawacki came up with the idea of making a menu of different cuisines and serving it at locations around the city. This is the second installment, and the menu is themed on Sunset Park which as you may know is a neighborhood in Brooklyn that has large Mexican and Chinese communities. Menu and ordering info after the jump.
