Serious Eats: New York unveiled their massive croissant-a-palooza today, and the winner is… Ceci Cela on Spring Street. Too far for us, but thankfully the 2nd place croissant is a bit closer to home: Petrossian (on 7th Ave. and 58th Street). Financier, and Bouchon Bakery were also included. Check out the complete list here>>

Lan Sheng is Best Of New York: The Village Voice's best of New York City issue is out, and while there's not much Midtown Lunch'ing fodder on the list, Lan Sheng (on 39th btw. 5+6th) was chosen by Sarah DiGregorio as being home to one of her ten favorite dishes in all of New York City. Nice!

Despite being quite fond of pretty much all of David Chang’s Momofuku ventures, I find that I rarely take the trouble to head to the East Village or fight a damned web site to go to any of them. When Ma Peche (aka MomoMidtown) first opened, I was psyched to have them in Midtown, but being 20 blocks away, I never quite managed to check it out. And then I heard about the new sandwich additions to the lunch menu. Hello excuse for a subway-ride lunch!
In fact, it was a good excuse for two back-to-back subway-ride lunches. This week I stopped in two days in a row to try out their new Shrimp Po’ Boy and the Beef Sausage sandwich (and discovered a new happy hour special at the bar!) Check ’em out after the jump.

Thanks to @cardamond for pointing this one out on Twitter… Sami’s Dosa cart, which popped up on Broadway and 55th across from the Letterman theater before promptly disappearing again, has appeared on Broadway and 39th. The tipster said that it took awhile for his food, but the onion chilly dosa was yummy. We might have to do a dosa showdown between this cart and the other dosa cart, parked just one block away (on 39th and 6th).

Earlier this week we brought you the news that Street Sweets is partnering a number of businesses and bringing free treats to the streets on three different trucks. Yesterday I caught up with Truck #3 (aka the Scharffen Berger Chocolate Adventure wrapped truck) and I have to say, the free chocolate cupcake alone makes it worth checking out.

Cheesesteak Deal: I think once the New York Daily News gets into the daily deals email game it's safe to say this is getting out of control! Or we can just keep our mouths shut, and continue taking advantage of all this cheap food. Today's offer is 50% off Shorty's, the Philly cheesesteak spot on 9th Ave (btw 41+42nd). Just an FYI, you have to purchase the deal before tonight at Midnight.
