Midtown Lunch

Get 35% Off Food & Drinks at BonChon: Korean fried chicken fanatics, start your engines. Google Offers has a deal today for 35% off food and drinks at BonChon's Turtle Bay location (2nd Ave. btw 50th+51st). The deal is good through June 6 and is only valid from 11am to 6pm, making it perfect to use for lunch.

Luke’s Lobster Returns: Lobster lovers might have noticed that Luke's Lobster (aka Nauti) has been off the streets for some time now. Well, they've sorted out their permitting issues and the truck will be back on the road today at lunch and the plan is to park at 47th and Madison. Bring your cash, they won't be able to do cards until later in the week. And as always, check before you head out either on the Twitter Tracker or @NautiMobile.

$5 Off When You Spend $10 at Leña Latin Grill: In the mood for Latin food? Google Offers has a coupon for $5 off when you spend $10 at Leña Latin Grill (35th St. btw. 5th+6th). With a deal like that, you can splurge on one of their plate lunches and get a fresh-squeezed juice.

Earth Day Freebie Alert: Today is Earth Day (who knew!?) and to celebrate Pizza by Cer Te will give the first 200 customers an organic Lady apple, and a piece of Organic Vermont maple candy all in a bio-degradable peat pot with basil seeds. The giveaway starts at 11:30am at their location on 56th btw Park+Lex. Green loving freeloaders, prepare to engage.

New Pie Face Opens Today: The new Pie Face location at 1407 Broadway (btw 38+39) we wrote about last week opens today. In fact, they teamed up with Motown: The Musical, to launch a new limited edition summer berry pie (inspired by Motown founder and music mogul Berry Gordy), which will debut at this new location. As we've come to expect, there will be a prize wheel with opportunities to win free pies, coffee and dessert, and they'll be handing out free samples near the store.

Groupon Makes Schnitzel Express ML-able: If you love Schnitzel Express but don't love the fact that the cheapest individual schnitzel is above the Midtown Lunch $10 global limit, it's Groupon to the rescue. They're running a deal to get $20 worth of Schnitzel Express chow for $10 today. Granted, you have to use it all in one visit, but that's enough for a full lunch and then some. It's not a terrible deal, and in fact it's actually pretty good - at least now it's good at their asking price. (My advice: get the Greek, the fresh garlic is aMAYzing)

This Little Piggy Went To Certe For Their April Sandwich: New month, new Certe sammie. The "This Little Piggy" sounds like a doozy -- it includes Mount Mansfield maple glazed pork belly, Millport Dairy Farms cheddar crusted rosemary waffle and peppercress (which is sort of like water cress in flavor). Woah. Early adopters, tell us how it is in the comments!

Win Tickets to SVP’s Great Street Meet!: Andrea over at Downtown Lunch has the full scoop on the Street Vendor Project's upcoming event on April 2 called The Great Street. (You might know them from a little event that they host called The VENDYS!). The Great Street Meet is an opportunity to eat some tasty food from vendors and hit up an open bar, not to mention celebrate the passing of the the recent City Council bill to cut the $1,000 vendor fines in half.
