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.

Get 53% off BBQUE’s Smoke Shack: This week our brand new deals page has got something for the Flatiron Lunch'ers. Get $15 worth of BBQUE's Smoke Shack for just $7. You might remember the place from when Clay hit them up back in November, before they really got their footing... this might be just the thing to get him back for a second look.

Lobster, Tacos and Baklava Oh My!: Schnitzel & Things is on 51st, Coolhaus is on 47th & Lex, Morris Grilled Cheese is on 55th & Park, Uncle Gussy's has skirt steak and baklava, Big D's is on 50th btw. 6+7th, Gorilla Cheese is on 55th & 6th, Crisp on Wheels is on 50th btw. 6+7th, Luke's Lobster and Korilla are on 46th & Vanderbilt, Valducci's is on 52nd & Park, and Wafels & Dinges is on 46th & 6th. As always you'll want to check the ML Twitter Tracker before heading out...

Today is Free Mini Pie Day at Pie Face: Just a friendly reminder... today is Australia Day, so the newly open Pie Face (on 53rd and B'way) will be giving out a free mini pie or a free cup of coffee to every single customer from now until Midnight tonight.  Freeloaders, engage!

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.  Now you can get 50% off both on our brand new deals page, powered by InBundles. From now until the end of the day on Wednesday, you can score $20 worth of Vietnamese food from Cha Pa, for just $10>>

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.

Real Cheap Eats’ Winter 2012 is Now Live: The Real Cheap Eats website has released its Winter 2012 edition, and there are a couple of new additions to the Midtown section- like the Kimchi Bowl from the Kimchi Taco Truck and the Souper Soup at Sarge's Deli (on 3rd btw. 36+37th). There's also plenty of great recs for other areas of NYC, many of them from your favorite Midtown Lunch contributors!

Flex Donuts Open Indefintely!: When Flex Donuts Pop-Up reopened at Zócalo in Grand Central Terminal's Dining Concourse, it was only supposed to be through the end of the year. Apparently it did so well, you can know get your Flex Donuts on indefinitely--or until Zócalo ever does shut down to become the new Shake Shack.
