Midtown East The newish Wall St. Burger Truck is serving burgers, wings, onion rings, and curly fries on 52nd Street and Park Avenue today. [Midtown Lunch]


The very first gourmet food truck to roll into midtown is the first to be pushed out by the cops. The Treats Truck has announced they “will not be in Midtown for the time being,” but you can call for their new locations or delivery. [Midtown Lunch]


Salon Millesime is offering happy-hour specials from 5 to 8 p.m. like $20 burger and beer on Mondays and $1 oysters on Wednesdays, as well as $15 bottomless Champagne at weekend brunch from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. [Grub Street]

Midtown West: Starting today, the current Foursquare major of John Dory Oyster Bar can get a four-person reservation any time (with 24-hours notice). [Grub Street]


South Street Seaport: The guys behind Five Guys will fill the shuttered Carmine’s Italian Seafood with an upscale steakhouse called the Fighting Chair, scheduled to open in October. [DNA Info]


Union Square: American Express and Foursquare launched a new Smart Offer API program today that allows you to link your Amex to Foursquare to load and redeem special offers without the hassle of coupons or codes. Danny Meyer’s Union Square Hospitality Group is one of the program’s first partners, so as of today, Amex card members can load deals from Union Square Café, as well as Blue Smoke, the Modern, and Untitled.

Williamsburg: Starting this weekend, the new movie theater Nitehawk brings us what we’ve all been waiting for: a movie theater where you can drink. You can place written orders for movie-themed cocktails and snacks like beef jerky or watermelon salad throughout the film, and then set them down on the very civilized tables (with drink holders!) they’ve placed between every two seats.
