Midtown Lunch

Go Go Curry To Open Third NYC Location: Looks like Go Go Curry is expanding once again. Andrea over at Downtown Lunch reports that Go Go Curry will open their 3rd NYC location early next year, near the World Trade Center. No info yet on exact timing and location, but generally speaking you know what this means: Grand Slams, Go Go Days and generally awesome grub for our downtown friends!

Get Soupid: Got any Recommendations for a Soup Column?: If you liked doing $1 slice science, we're gonna do the same for soup starting soon! Got a place that serves good soup and isn't Hale & Hearty? So long as it's not an Asian noodle soup (we all know that it's not fair to compare Tabata ramen to Soup Spot's Hungarian mushroom - apples & oranges, anyone?) we want some of your favorite soups! Comment away and they may just get a visit from the Leatherman!

Groupon Up for Pitopia: If you're skeptical about Midtown Lunch readers voting Pitopia as the best falafel in Midtown, or if you don't want to take Midtown Lunch contributor MJP's word for it, then here's your chance to at least save some dosh in the process: Pitopia's got a couple of Groupons today. The only catch is that you have to spend it in one shot, which is a LOT of falafel. The $12 Groupon will get you at least two giant freaking falafel pitas and toppings that make Maoz shudder, they're so good.

Today’s the Last Day to Get Certé’s November Sandwich: The Getting Thanks sandwich that we featured in our Thanksgiving video is going away after today. They won't be doing another Midtown Lunch sandwich until February due to the holidays, so make sure you stop by Cer té (on 55th btw. 5+6th) today to get a taste of the turkey meatloaf, turkey cracklins and green bean casserole.

Gangnam Style Cart Pops Up Again Uptown: A few weeks ago we discovered a new Korean food cart on Madison and 33rd that was looking to capitalize on the success of Psy's totally annoying dance hit.  It promptly disappeared (much to our dismay) but Gothamist has discovered the cart again up on Columbus and 60th.

Midtown is Full of Full Trucks Today: Comme Ci Comme Ca is on 52nd & Park, Phil's Steaks is on 47th btw. Park+Mad, Rickshaw is on 51st & 7th, Coolhaus is on 53rd & Park, Palenque is on 47th & Park, Hibachi Heaven is on 46th btw. 5+6th, Crisp on Wheels is on 53rd btw. Park+Mad, Bian Dang is on 47th & Park, Korilla is on 55th & B'way, Eddie's Pizza is on 46th btw. 5+6th, and the Milk Truck is on 48th & 3rd. As always, make sure to check the ML Twitter Tracker before heading out.

Sarge’s Delicatessen Shuttered In Massive Fire: Sarge's Delicatessen on 3rd Avenue between 36th and 37th has been shuttered indefinitely by a fire, according to Grub Street and Gothamist. The fire drew 150 firefighters to the scene and took 90 minutes to extinguish. Deputy Chief Thomas McKavanagh reports extensive damage to the restaurant, and expects it "will not be open for a while" so it looks like we'll miss Sarge's delicious potato pancakes this year.

Blooomfield & Friedman Opening a Taco Place on 39th: April Bloomfield and Ken Friedman (Spotted Pig, The Breslin, the John Dory) are bringing Midtown their twist on tacos with the opening of Salvation Taco next month in the Pod 39 Hotel (39th btw Lex+3rd). Expect naan and braised lamb breast or chickpea tortillas with sweetbreads, and hot dog tortas(!). No word though on whether it falls in our budget... but either way it'll probably be worth the splurge. [Grub Street]

Before You Bolt From Work: You might be leaving work early today, but the Midtown food trucks aren't! Crisp on Wheels is on 53rd btw. Park+Madison, the Mac Truck is on 47th btw. Park+Mad, Comme Ci Comme Ca is on 52nd & Park, Seoul Food is on 51st, Bian Dang is on 47th & Park, and the Treats Truck is in their favorite Weds spot. As always check the ML Twitter Tracker for more updates before heading out.

Mac Truck’s Got a 50% Deal: If you're not a Tom Haverford clone or trying to emulate Jeremy Piven, you might not be in on Urbandaddy just yet. If not, it's more than just pocket squares and cologne - they're running a deal for 50% off Mac Truck's basic mac & cheese. $3 gets you the basic spiel but proteins/add-ons are still $2 extra. Rachel liked them in her review, so if you've had it up to here with Kraft, maybe it's worth it?
