Midtown Lunch

If I Was a Rich Girl…: I'd have all the lobster rolls in the world, if I was a wealthy girl... No volunteers for today's profile, so instead you suckas should be tortured by this image of Oyster House's Lobster Roll that I ate for the snow day half price - full of giant hunks of lobster meat and the perfect light coating of mayo. These normally cost $26! Oyster House, 1516 Sansom St, 215 567-7683

Snow Specials:

• Oyster House just announced on that lobster rolls are half off today, that means you can get one for $13 for lunch!
• Percy St is offering a free beer with your RW meal.
• At Phila Chutney Co, buy 2 Dosas, get 1 Free. Just mention Twitter.
• Freshii is doing 2 for 1 bowls today as well.

N.Y. Deli Coming to 11th St: Some new signage has appeared on 11th st between Walnut and Sansom right next to NYPD Pizza. If NY Deli is to delis as what NYPD pizza is to pizza, then this is actually a deli worth being excited about.

Some Mid Week Lunch Updates:

• As we mentioned, today is the grand opening of Freshii
• Le Pain Quotidien has opened today as well, if $15 salads are your thing... though chicken curry salad tartine w a side of harissa cranberry chutney for $10.50 doesn't sound half bad [Grub Street]
• Restaurant Week is in full force... have you been?
• And this Friday, Oyster House (1516 Sansom) will be doing $5 to go orders of clam chowder to celebrate national New England Chowder Day from 11:30 to 2.

Vegan Lunch Delivery: Mac and Cheese's twitter feed pointed out this brand new lunch delivery service offered by vegan delivery and catering services, Miss Rachel's Pantry.
