Tuesday is a Better Food Cart Day Than Monday: Don't forget it's Tuesday today, so the ML Twitter Tracker has got far more options than if today was Monday. Schnitzel & Things is on 46th, Eddie's Pizza Truck is on 40th, Frites N Meats is on 48th, Wafels and Dinges is on 52nd, Street Sweets is on 46th, and Miss Softee's "Oreo Speedwagon" will be on 44th.

Trucks Leaving Early, Are You?: Looks like lunchers aren't the only ones looking to get a jump on the long weekend... the ML Twitter Tracker is as quiet as your office will be at 1pm. Wafels & Dinges is on 52nd, Rickshaw is on 45th, and Papa P. is on 55th, Schnitzel & Things is on 52nd, but only until 1:15pm, but Eddie's Pizza Truck, Street Sweets, and NYC Cravings are all off. What's your plan today?

Midtown Shake Shack to Open Friday!?: Nothing like a little shameless rumormongering to lift the spirits... From Lunch'er Michael: "Ran into a Shake Shack worker today and they said that it should be opening on Friday. They're just finishing up training. Can. Not. Wait." Update: Eater has photos of the training.

Putting Your Money Where Your Mouth Was: Ever since Spoon City (on 33rd btw. Mad+5th) closed up shop, we've wondered what new treats were going to be served out of the tiny closet-sized space. Turns out, there will be no more food served there at all. It's going to be a currency exchange.

Beat the Heat With Some Street Meat: Don't let the weather keep you in today, there's plenty going on via the ML Twitter Tracker. In addition to the Goodburger Deal, Rickshaw is on 52nd, Schnitzel is on 46th with veal, Frites N Meats and QBA Cuban Kitchen are on 48th, and Wafels and Dinges is on 52nd- and they now sell spekuloos by the jar! (That could be dangerous.)

Lunch & Schvitz: Mamacita's strip club lunch at Rick's Cabaret was long ago inducted into the Midtown Lunch hall of fame, but today our Downtown section might have found something that tops it... the Russian Turkish Bath & Restaurant. Their lunch specials are $2 over the ML price range, but clearly it's worth it>>

Good Burger 8th Ave is Now Open; Bistro Truck in Midtown West: Did you check the ML Twitter Tracker this morning? Because if you didn't you might have missed this... the new Columbus Circle Goodburger (on 8th Ave. btw. 57+58th is now open). Also of note, the Bistro Truck ditched the Flatiron to park on 11th Ave. btw. 46+47th today. If you're up for a hike, we recommend the mixed grill or the fish taco special.
