Pop Burger puts the Dollar Menu to shame today—and on the eighth of every month—by offering two of its eponymous burgers for a total of $0.88 (normally $6.75). The deal is valid only from 2 to 6:30pm at the Midtown West location. To get the special price, diners must use this electronic coupon, and then text the code to their phone to show to the cashier at check-out.—Julia Fleming

The Super Bowl could have been awesome—really awesome—if the Jets had won the AFC championship. But that’s life, sports fans, and as sports fans, you’re still going to watch the game this Sunday. Want a way to feel better cheering on the other team? Head to Delmonico’s for a game-day event starting at 5pm with a special menu of buttermilk fried chicken and fries. The best part: From 5:30 to 6:30pm, all that food, along with pints of Stella, will be totally free. Suddenly it doesn’t hurt so bad, does it?

Last year was the year of the pig, and the trend shows no signs of slowing down. Those looking to get their porcine fix without having to go whole hog can swing by Marc Forgione every Tuesday from 6 to 9pm for $16 all-you-can-eat suckling pig sliders. The restaurant takes care of the roasting, then leaves you to build your own sammies with toppings like green mustard, house-made pickles and two-for-one bottles of beer. We’ll resist the obvious pigging-out jokes, but, you know, don’t overdo it.—M. Elizabeth Sheldon

You can’t get much for an Alexander Hamilton in this town besides a crappy, overdubbed copy of Avatar sold by some creep in Herald Square, but somehow the Brooklyn Fire Proof East café and bar (119 Ingraham St at Porter Ave, Williamsburg, Brooklyn; 718-456-7570; Mon–Sat 9am–3pm, Sun 10am–3am) has found a way to offer a miraculous ten-buck brunch—choose from seven options, served with a Bloody Mary or mimosa. The recession tastes delicious.

Midtown office drones rejoice: Free food awaits you. Head to Schnipper’s Quality Kitchen tomorrow for its one-year anniversary celebration. Between 11am and 11pm, a burger purchase gets you either a free 12-ounce milkshake (vanilla, chocolate or strawberry), an ice-cream float, or, if you’re ready to start drinking the weekend away, a 12-ounce craft beer. We know, choosing between complimentary ice cream and beer is a difficult decision to make, but don’t fret…you could always get wild and crazy with beer and dessert by purchasing two burgers.—Julia Fleming

If our recent review of the Mermaid Oyster bar had you drooling, we have good news—you can fill your belly with fresh shucked oysters for $1 apiece from 5:30 to 7pm Monday through Saturday, and 5 to 7pm on Sundays at all three Mermaid Inn locations (MacDougal Street, Amsterdam Avenue and Second Avenue).

Elizabeth Sheldon

It’s cold out, but not too cold to have a food adventure in Chinatown. Here’s the perfect excuse: The recently opened outpost of Flushing’s X’ian Famous Foods is serving belly-warming specialties from China’s Shanxi province, whose cuisine is characterized by sour, spicy and fragrant tastes, and Muslim influences that can be seen in ingredients like lamb and cumin. May we suggest the toothsome noodles, hand-pulled to order and piled high with prodigiously seasoned lamb? It’s only $5, after all. For more suggestions on what to eat, read Joshua M. Bernstein’s article here.

Cold weather calls for comfort food—preferably the type that won’t make you feel uncomfortable about your bank balance. In an act of goodwill, TONY Music staffer Hank Shteamer let us in on his little secret: La Papa Chili Con Carne, the granddaddy of all stuffed spuds, which goes for just $6.50 at Turkish eatery La Papa Astoria (25-13 30th Ave between Crescent and 27th Sts, Astoria, Queens; 718-777-7879).

Whatever the critics have to say, New Yorkers are still happy to gobble up haute dogs and burgers—especially when they’re free. New York Hotdog and Coffee has been tweeting about its daily special: After 5pm, any of its dressed-up tube steaks, including the bulgogi and pizza varieties, are buy-one-get-one-free. The promotion lasts through the end of the week—possibly longer, according to one manager. Meanwhile, Thrillist brings word that downtown partyers can drop by Mikey’s Burger at 134 Ludlow Street, the new joint du jour from Michael “Bao” Huynh, for free burgers at midnight on Friday. If you miss out, score a complimentary lamb or pork “burger” at Xi’an Famous Foods, the Flushing favorite whose new Manhattan storefront was profiled yesterday by Fork in the Road. The giveaway begins at 11am on Saturday and requires an R.S.V.P.—Jenny Miller
