Half Off At Cowgirl Seahorse: I've never eaten at Cowgirl Seahorse on Front St. (btw. Peck Slip & Frankfort) mostly because it's over the ML budget. There's a deal on Scoutmob today for 50% off which makes lunching there a pretty good deal, and they have something called an ice cream baked potato.

Start The Week With Pork Chop Over Rice: On the ML Downtown Twitter Tracker today...Bian Dang is on Front, Crisp is on Hudson along with Sweetery and Schnitzel & Things, Frying Dutchmen is on Varick and La Cense is on Wall. Comme Ci Comme Ca is at Old Slip and Calexico will be serving on Prince starting at noon.

Taste Of Tokyo’s Maki Rolls Mix A Little Breakfast With Lunch

There are many sources of maki rolls in the Financial District, and many of them involve refrigerated cases in stores like Zeytuna or the swanky new Duane Reade (shudder). There are a couple of places that offer lunch specials with two rolls for less than $10 but most limit you to the more pedestrian varieties like salmon, tuna or California.
