• Salume’s Times Square kiosk is closed for renovations, but an employee at the Soho store tells us it will reopen next month. [Grub Street]

• For all of the quality time we spend with pizza, it might as well be our lover, and we’re glad that the folks at L’Asso feel the same way: They’ll be debuting a “Pizza Is My Lover” photo exhibition at their East Village location featuring — you guessed it! — good-looking pies. They’ll celebrate with a reception April 17 from 6 to 9 p.m. At L’Asso, you’ll also be able to relax with a cup of tea: They’ve started serving organic teas and tisanes from In Pursuit of Tea.

• Free food alert: Chop’t will be giving away salad tomorrow at its new Flatiron location, 18 East 23rd Street. The lettuce will fly beginning at 11:30 a.m. In other Chop’t news, stop by any of the locations next week to purchase the Telepan School Lunch Salad. A dollar from each Telepan sold benefits PS 175’s Washington, D.C. trip. [Eater NY]
