Want a foraged meal for free in Brooklyn? Issue Project Room is offering up seats to an odd and mysterious dinner party on February 4th. They say, "Seated with us at the table are our fellow humans, plants, mushrooms, bacteria and other animals... some of these visitors eat and some are eaten." We're pretty sure they don't mean this in a Hannibal Lecter way.
Free Dinner In Brooklyn... If You're Brave
Mysterious Couple Picks Up Innocent Diners' Checks
Creeping anonymously into Spigolo on the Upper East Side, one couple has been quietly picking up the checks of other diners, and refuse to reveal themselves to authorities! Customer Katie Barnhart, whose table racked up a $200 tab on a recent night, told the Post, "I was eating at the bar with my parents the weekend of Mother's Day—and we really splurged—but when we asked for the bill, the bartender said, 'It's been taken care of.' They also picked up the bill of two women sitting next to us." Unfortunately, the couple seems to have no formula for determining who gets to bask in their kindness.
Old Homestead Will Hit 10 Millionth Diner Tomorrow
Just 708 meals away from their target, the 142-year-old Old Homestead steakhouse will likely see their 10 millionth customer tomorrow, and are planning to celebrate the "Mega-Mignon-Aire Day" with free steak. The lucky carnivore who walks in at just the right moment will receive free dinner and drinks for two, every week, for life (triple bypass coverage not included). Amazingly, reservations are still available for two all day long tomorrow. Owner Greg Sherry told the Post, "We have been waiting since 1868 for this."
UES Restaurant Offering Free Food to "Gossip Girls"
The Upper East Side eatery Park Avenue Winter is getting some screen time on an upcoming episode of Gossip Girl, and to celebrate they're offering free meals to any female dressed like a schoolgirl. Yes, this just got sort of creepy. Anyway, if you're into that sort of thing, pull up your knee highs, tuck in your button down and zip up that plaid skirt, because from March 16th to 20th "girls of any age in a school uniform will be treated to dinner." And to the ladies over 21, you'll get two rounds compliments of whoever it is who has this schoolgirl fetish. Why can't Chuck Bass doppelgangers be invited too? [Eater via NBC]
