Bi Lokma is the Groupon Deal of the Day: If you woke up this morning with a craving for Turkish food, you're in luck. Bi Lokma (45th St. between 3rd and 2nd Ave.), Midtown East's recently reopened fast casual Turkish joint, has a Groupon deal available today. The deal gets you $60 worth of food for only $30, so you might want to grab a few friends for this one.
