Get 50% off Previti Pizza: If you didn't look at our new deals page today you missed out on a pretty epic deal for the pizza voted Midtown's best in the past two readers' polls. Luckily you still have a couple of more days to score the deal. Get $12 worth of pizza at Previti for just $6. The gift certificate isn't good for their 2 slice special, or on Fridays from Noon to 2pm (presumably because they're too busy) but it's still worth it. Do it. Do it.

Kickstart Your Week With “Bunday Mondays” at Hooters: If you like boobs burgers, and don't mind a lunch splurge (wait, that sounds weird) you'll be excited to know that Hooters (on 56th btw. B'way+7th) just started "Bunday Mondays". Lunch'er "Andrew" tipped us off to the special, which is the burger of your choice with both fries AND tater tots for around $11 or $12 on Mondays only. That's a bit too pricey for us, and it's not as exciting as their "Hall Pass" promotion, but we figured we'd pass it along as a PSA to those of you who might care.

Heavenly Burger is Now Closed: Well, that didn't last long! According to Lunch'er Jonathon, Heavenly Burger (the restaurant fka as Burger Heaven) on Madison and 41st has closed. I guess that rumor about them losing their lease was true after all.

Get Half Off Cha Pa’s Vietnamese Food: We've always thought that the banh mi at Cha Pa (on 52nd btw. 8+9th) were pretty decent, and back in March Chris H. said that their pho might be the best in Midtown.

Half Off At Little Thai Kitchen: Just because we launched our own deals page yesterday (you can still get 53% off Sergimmo Salumeria, btw) doesn't mean we're not going to still point out good finds on other deal sites. A current Google Offer gets you $10 worth of Asian fare for just $5 at Little Thai Kitchen (on 53rd btw. 2+3rd). Since the 2-course lunch sets here are just over the ML limit at $11, this deal seems like a great opportunity to check this spot out.
