Havana Central Launches Empanada Cart: Village Voice reported the other day that the Cuban themed restaurant will be launching a cart selling their famous empanadas (with savory fillings like beef and chicken and sweet options like pineapple, coconut, and guava/cheese) for $1 on Tuesdays between 4-7pm. But this deal has been available for years inside the restaurant! Start offering these at lunchtime and then we'll talk...

It’s a Two For Tuesday at Pizza By Cer Te: Today is another one of Pizza by Cer Te's two for Tuesdays. That means beginning at Noon you can get two slices of margherita pizza for just $2 at their location on 56th btw. Park+Lex.

Free Go Go Curry Today: Go Go Curry fans, listen up! The Midtown location (38th st btw 7th+8th) is giving away free curry to users of the LevelUp app today from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. There's more information on Facebook, but it seems anything under $10 is on them if you pay with the app. Curry lovers and freeloaders, engage!

Cer Te’s July Sandwich Is The P.I.G.: Certe is launching their July sandwich of the month today (the 11th!?), but when you hear what's in the it you'll probably forgive them for their tardiness. The “P.I.G.” (which stands for pork including grits) is $8.95 and includes BBQ pork belly, cheese grits, spicy fried pickles on a corn ciabatta. Early adopters, I can't wait to hear what you have to say about this one!

Free Slurpee Alert: If such things excite you... you'll be excited to know that today is 7/11 (aka July 11th) aka 7-11's chosen birthday, so to celebrate they'll be giving away free slurpees at all locations from 11am to 7pm (that's 7-11 reversed!  So clever.)  Freeloaders, prepare to engage.

50% Off Sushi-Teria: When Anna checked out Sushi-teria in January, she found it to be a pretty gimmicky and expensive way to order sushi, and she was unable to order a satisfying lunch for under $10. Today's InBundles deal is an offer for $8 for $16 worth of food at Sushi-teria, which may interest those working in and around the Citi building. One would hope $16 is enough dough for a more than decent lunch ...

Nuchas Goes Mobile: Nuchas, the Times Square kiosk selling empanadas on Broadway between 44th and 45th streets, has gone mobile. The new truck's menu seems to mirror that of the kiosk, offering many savory and one sweet option. They've found parking on 47th street between Park & Lex today, but you may want to keep tabs on their twitter account before heading out.

Ben & Jerry’s Truck Returns with Free Greek Yogurt: It was two summers ago that Ben & Jerry's launched a temporary promotional truck and now they're back offering up free scoops of their recently unveiled line of Greek frozen yogurt now through August 3. Blondie was impressed by their Blueberry Vanilla Graham flavor, but I'm guessing it won't be nearly as decadent and fresh as the stuff they're pushing from Uncle Gussy's recently launched cart, Pago. But this is free so that's tough to beat. They're tweeting their locations and accepting parking spot requests on Twitter.

Schnitzel & Things Deal Alert: I have to admit, I haven't purchased anything from Groupon in a really long time (no, I still don't want laser hair removal, thanks). Imagine my surprise when something good hit my inbox: $6 for $12 worth of food at Schnitzel & Things! It looks like the deal is good both at the store and the truck, and there are a couple of options to choose from. I new I didn't quit Groupon for a reason!
