Excited!

Previti Pizza Deal Alert: Once again, In Bundles is offering a 50% off deal at Previti Pizza: $12 worth of pizza is just $6. Although it's not valid for the 2 Slice & a Coke special or Fridays from 12-2pm, it's still a pretty good deal for last year's readers' poll winning slice.

File This Under “Not Shocking”: Kashmir, the Indian Deli on 8th Ave. btw. 39+40th that recently rebranded itself to draw attention to the $1 burger they introduced a couple of years ago, has been shuttered by the DOH. One of the violations? "Food from 'unapproved or unknown' sources". You don't say?  [via DNAinfo]

Pie Face Introduces #WakeMeUpWeds: Just an FYI if you've haven't gotten your coffee yet... starting this morning, Pie Face Midtown (on 53rd & B'way) is launching a new deal that gets you 50% the entire "Wake Me Up" menu (featuring coffee, espresso, and flat whites) every Wednesday morning from 8-9am.  Enjoy!

Okadaman Deal Alert: Been meaning to try Okadaman, but haven't gotten around to it yet? Here's another reason to give the Japanese soul food truck a shot. Groupon (when's the last time you bought one of those, by the way??) is offering $7 for $15 worth of Japanese food. Earlier this week I loved their Japanese breakfast and Brian has also enjoyed the takoyaki, okonomiyaki and kara-age lunch items. Seems like a no brainer to me.

Midtown East Whole Foods To Open August 23rd: Back in October, we told you a new Whole Foods was coming to Midtown East, on 57th street btw 2nd+3rd avenues.

Once heralded as the best generic Midtown deli by our fearless leader, we can't wait for this new location to open its doors.
