Thanks to Midtown Lunch for giving such a warm welcome to the chefs making their debut at this spring’s Mad Sq Eats.
“If I am Jerry Springer giving my final thoughts on the first week of Mad Sq Eats, I would say that Flatiron Lunch is, without a doubt, a happier place with the presence of the festival.”
Special props extended to:
- Mayhem & Stout (Pork Shoulder Sandwich)
- Gravy (Fried Chicken)
- Arancini Bros. (outstanding Ragu-filled fried rice balls–see Midtown Lunch pic in post)
- Antica Focacceria S. Francesco (Sfincione & Pane e Panelle – all the way from Palermo!)
- Eataly (M’Buttunata – double-delicious deep-fried calzone)
- Mexicue (Tostilocos – a bag of Fritos with the works – cojita cheese, red cabbage slaw, guacamole, lime crema & pickled jalepenos – all inside the bag!)

One of our regular Urban Space restauranteurs, Red Hook Lobster Pound, will be doing the lobster thing all over NYC and Brooklyn this month. First off, be sure to get a roll, or two, or three at Mad. Square Eats starting May 4th until June 1st. More deets here!
Can’t be there for opening?? No sweat. Red Hook Lobster Pound will be our shining star for Cinco De Mayo at Dekalb Market (our Brooklyn baby). The Lobster Fiesta will be a mix of northern and southern flavors, all wrapped up in boiling pot. Genius! They’ll also be serving spicy potato salad, mexican corn, and Jicama cole slaw. Basically, be prepared to do some post finger-licking duties (on others yourself). Most importantly, be sure to buy your ticket here!
Mark your calendar people! Saturday, May 5th from 3-8pm at Dekalb Market. You can take the B,D or Q to Dekalb Ave.
Read below for some good time,Red Hook Lobster Pound, “About Us”.
The Red Hook Lobster Pound takes pride in serving up the finest fresh Maine lobster and most succulent, affordable lobster rolls in the city. Top that off with signature dishes like a Lobster BLT and the sinfully rich Lobster Mac ‘n Cheese and you’ve got a seafood menu like no other. Now in its third year, Red Hook Lobster Pound is a well-established figure in the NYC artisanal food scene. From their headquarters in a quaint Maine-style lobster shack in Red Hook, Brooklyn, they spread their lobster love far and wide at pop-up markets (like the Brooklyn Flea, Smorgasburg, Madison Square Eats, and DeKalb Market), weddings, foodie events, and the streets in their gourmet food truck, Big Red.
Tingle your taste buds and quench your thirst at the 2012 spring Mad. Sq. Eats., open every day from May 4 through June 1, in Madison Square Park’s Worth Square. The Mad. Sq. Eats pop-up celebrates the finest chefs and purveyors, both established and those that are up and coming.
You’ll find a great combination of Flatiron chefs mixed with the hottest new chefs from the outer boroughs and from award-winning food trucks.
Serious Eats says “Tucked in the triangle between Eataly and Shake Shack is Worth Park, home to the popular month-long food market Mad. Sq. Eats. It’s certainly worth going out of your way for. Where else can you get Roberta’s pizzas, Asia Dogs, and Momofuku desserts all within a few feet of each other?
