The First Fat Stop is in Midtown: And we're off. The first stop on the TIWYF Eat N Tweet Challenge is the Wafels and Dinges on 45th & 6th. Wonder what they're serving... might have to head over. Also of note, the Bistro Truck let loose a photo of their special a bit early and it's quite a sight to behold.

Maybe This Will Help: From Twitter: "Sign on Tasti-D-Lite on 6th at 39th: 'Coming Soon The Soupman (yeah That Soupman) joins Tasti-D-Lite'". Uh... because those who like flavorless froyo love soup? Genius!

Juan Valdez Says Hasta Luego: As Tim Horton's, Stumptown, Ecco, and Intellegentsia begin their invasion of NYC, an old standby a strange Disney'ish brand run by the National Federation of Coffee Growers in Columbia is saying goodbye. We have it on good authority that all 3 Juan Valdez locations in Midtown will be closing up in the next couple of months.

Free Cheesesteak Alert: Thanks to Lunch'er CDB for this tip... The Greater Philadelphia Tourism Marketing Corp will be at Shorty's tomorrow (on 9th Ave. btw. 41+42nd) giving away free cheesesteaks right before Game 1 of the World Series. According to Grub St. the giveaway is "shorty sized cheesesteaks" and lasts from 4pm until the game starts at 7:57pm. Clearly no self respecting Yankees fan will indulge in such a promotion, but that leaves more for the rest of us!

Fishtail Extends $5 Menu: Fresh off trying Fishtail's special $5 Octoberfest menu on Friday (the one where you can get 5 raw oysters and a burger for $10), we've just read that they've decided to extend the deal through November. Nice! [via David Burke's Twitter]

88 Cent Burger Reminder: Don't forget today you can get two Pop Burgers (on 58th btw. Mad+5th) for 88 Cents courtesy of 8Coupons. You have to have the coupon texted to your phone, and it's kind of lame that you can only use it between 2-5pm, but whatever. Beggars can't be choosers.

Boston Market Tries to One-Up KFC: In response to today's KFC free piece of grilled chicken giveaway, Boston Market has hit back with a deal of their own. Get a whole chicken meal for just $1 with this coupon (good through the end of the week). The only Midtown location is on 58th and 10th (too far for me!), but I'm sure some of you cheapos will think it's worth it. Enjoy!
