MIDTOWN EAST—A strange note, from a reader: "le cirque had two taped sheets of paper in their 58th street glass door today offering a $25 box lunch. (!) does that inlcude [sic] soda and chips?" We called and confirmed—the deal is offered in the café, apparently. [EaterWire Inbox]
LOWER EAST SIDE—A tipster has this nugget, "a friend in real estate tells me that Katz's Delicatessen is quietly shopping for a buyer (for the restaurant and the airspace above), with an asking price north of $30 million." True, or just a bunch of baloney? [EaterWire Inbox]
UNION SQUARE—Megnut drops us a report on on Vietnamese mini-chain Saigon Grill's delivery-man troubles. "There seems to be some kind of very loud ruckus/protest in front of the Saigon Grill on University near 12th right now. I didn't walk by to see what the fuss was, but "strike" comes to mind...." Saigon Grill: not what's for dinner tonight. [EaterWire Inbox]
