Speaking of Chicken Wings: The NYC Cravings Truck is on 53rd btw. Park+Lex today and has brought back the chicken wings that were too expensive to serve back in December. The wholesale price of wings is still high, so it may not be a permanent addition (aka get 'em while you can.) You get 4 pieces for $3.

Not Everybody is Avoiding Midtown Today: Considering the madness that is happening in Midtown right now, you might want to check the ML Twitter Tracker before leaving for lunch. As of right now Frites N Meats is on 47th, Rickshaw is on 57th, Street Sweets is on 52nd (as expected), and the Treats Truck is (smartly) looking for an alternate spot. Plus Goodburger is making St. Paddy's day shakes.

St Patrick’s Day Baked Goods?: There's nothing we hate more than bloggers who write about the free food they score (and honesty isn't an issue- we as readers just don't want to hear about the free shit that you got and we didn't). That being said, Yvo keeps our forums well stocked so I feel obligated to point you to her round up of St. Paddy's Day treats being offered at Grand Central.
