Plenty Of Meatless Options On This Ash Wednesday: According to the ML Downtown Twitter Tracker, we have Rickshaw Dumplings and Wafels & Dinges on Wall St., Frites N Meats,  Big D's Grub and Sweetery are at Hudson & King, Our Heros is at Wall & Water with a tilapia sandwich, Milk Truck's at Varick & King, Bongo Brothers is at Old Slip & Water with $2 empanadas, both Calexico carts are out in Soho, and Korilla's at Front & Gouverneur. The WFC lot has newbie Mexico Blvd., Mike N Willie's, Rickshaw and Valducci's.

Food To Eat Launch Means Free Food: To celebrate its launch, Food to Eat (kind of like a Seamless Web that includes food trucks) has partnered with some places downtown today to bring us freebies. You can get a side of fries at Big D's Grub or zeppoles at Valducci's, and at brick and mortars there's a can of soda at Oliva Gourmet on Broadway btw. Vesey & Barclay or alfajores at Ruben's Empanadas (Multiple Locations). You have to actually sign up for and order with the service to get the free food, so I guess it depends on how cheap you're feeling today.

Happy Fat Tuesday!: I say we all have free rein to eat a fatty lunch today right? To help us with that, Coolhaus, Bongo Brothers, Frites N Meats and Eddie's Pizza are at the WFC food truck lot, according to the ML Downtown Twitter Tracker. Elsewhere, Our Heros is at Wall & Water, Gorilla Cheese is at Hudson & King, Mike N Willie's is at Front & Wall, Milk Truck's at Wall & William, Big D's is at Hanover Sq., Schnitzel & Things is at Water & Broad, Rickshaw Dumplings is at Hudson & Houston and Taim Mobile's at Varick & King.

Eddie’s Pizza Has A Bacon Pineapple Pie: It's a lovely day for some street food, and the WFC lot has Schnitzel & Things, Mexicue, Treats Truck and Big D's Grub. The ML Downtown Twitter Tracker also says that Rickshaw Dumplings is at Hudson & Houston, Frites N Meats is at Hanover Sq., Sweetery's at Hudson & King along with Eddie's Pizza's, Bongo Brothers is at Varick & Charlton, The Real Good Truck has a new wafflewich and is parked in the FiDi, Our Heros is at Wall & Water, and Milk Truck's at Wall & William. We also have GO Burger at Varick & Vandam and Korilla's at both Front & Gouverneur and Canal & Mercer.

Get 30% Off Lunch At The Harrison: The Harrison, on Greenwich St. in Tribeca, is a little too fancy for your average Downtown Lunch, but there's a deal on Blackboard Eats today for 30% off at lunch which just might let you get out of there for about $10. You have to order either one entree or two apps per person, so you can't be too cheap.
