A STEAL OF A MEAL AT MAX TRIBECA
Max has a fantastic prix-fixe deal for early diners. Dine at the restaurant between 4 p.m. and 6 p.m. and for $24 you get soup or salad, pizza or pasta, a glass of wine or beer, and half off any subsequent drinks. As you may know, the pizzas are a new addition to Max’s menu, and they’re only getting better: crustier and thinner in the middle. Order one of the ten special combinations or choose your own toppings—such as the delectable margherita with arugula and prosciutto di Parma. 181 Duane St., 212-966-5939, max-ny.com. Sponsored.

FIRST IMPRESSIONS: THE HUMMUS & PITA CO.
The menu is themed around the word “it,” so you “start it,” “make it,” “fill it,” “top it,” and “sauce it,” then possibly “side it” and “drink it.” (Whether you “push it,” “work it,” or “drop it like it’s hot” depends on how much you like hip-hop.) Is it worth it?
