Freebies

One of the best things about living in the Big Apple is the freebies. It is a simple fact that New Yorkers can be bribed to spread buzz and a nice freebie will grab their attention. Today I was on my way to work when I turned a random corner and four women dressed in purple dresses and black cardigans, with their hair in styled buns, offered me coffee and biscotti. The only catch was that each item was branded with the name of a television show premiering this weekend "the Starter Wife." There I go: I just generated my own buzz. Wahoo.

By far the best Freebie I ever got in NYC was free tickets to Hair in Central Park. This freebie was generated by NYC's cultural arts and was purely non-profit and high quality. It's a perk of living in a cultural mecca. The second best Freebie was the Facebook party with Ziggy Marley and Ben&Jerry. Mmm...good.

Other freebies I can remember:
1) endless cans of Monster that make me go on a crazy sugar high and then crash. the monster truck is constantly zooming around manhattan and i should just say no from now on. quanitity>>>quality
2) hummus and pita in Union Square. can't remember the brand, sorry you failed even though i had it twice now
3) DVD of Dexter season 2 premiere. times square. now I watch Dexter. Great show.
4) Snapple, coke, coffee, lots of beverages
5) pumpkin spice lattes from Starbucks on Halloween in the village near the parade. NICE!
6) lots of free crappy tote bags with brand names. i am fond of my bright blue one that advertises a hatha yoga place in Union Square that I've never been to.
7) facebook mints & the facebook party
8) Jeep chapstick. i have no idea why
9) flowers. some hippie love day i think
10) mustard pretzels. ahh the smelly breath
11) and who can forget the vacuum sealer! now that was really random

gotta love it!
