Win Free Baja Fresh Before They Open on Tuesday
It looks like Manhattan’s first location of Baja Fresh (on Lexington btw. 45+46th) is set to open on Tuesday (5/26) as scheduled. One of the owners emailed yesterday to invite me to sample their food, free, before they open. Sadly for me though, I don’t take free food from places that I write about- and as tempting as it is to make an exception for this exciting occasion, I’d much prefer going on opening day and tasting the food like a regular customer. I want to try the food they serve to paying Midtown Lunchers… not the free stuff they’re giving to people they know are going to promote the place.
BUT… that doesn’t mean you can’t have the free food. I asked the owner if I could give my slot away to one of my readers, and he agreed! In fact he said he’d be happy to give away spots to three Midtown Lunch readers (plus one guest each.) So, if you’d like to try Baja Fresh for free this weekend, before they open to the public, just comment below why you think you deserve to win. 3 winners will be drawn randomly on Friday afternoon. (And if you don’t win, I’ll see you there on Tuesday!)

I should win free lunch from Baja Fresh because I have been walking by the store every single day for the past 3 weeks to see if they are open yet. At last check, the sign still says they will open “muy pronto.” Vamonos!

Ha! You guys are so excited about this. It a random drawing. Yes, Walgreen’s sandwich RANDOM. So it doesn’t matter if these answers are so lame in your eyes. Jeeze, lighten up or retire.
That said, I hope Goats and Steven get it.

I’d love free Baja Fresh. When my husband and I were first dating–5 years ago–we were visiting his friends in DC. We were snowed in & he gallantly offered to walk to Baja Fresh to pick us all up treats. I asked for an enchilada with no sour cream and my husband, knowing very little about me, returned with a enchilada with absolutely no sauce on it–no enchilada sauce, no cream, no cheese, nada. It was the saddest little tortilla, stuffed with queso blanco.
As touched as I was by the fact that he trudged to Baja Fresh in the snow, I’d love to take him back to Baja to show him how it’s really done.

ME, because when in Cancun i gave our room maid a$50 tip…she wept!

Please enter me.
If I win, I shall donate my place in line for “free” food from a disease-laden salsa bar to McBeagle.
God knows, I’m sure he’d drive his Dial-A-Mattress delivery truck in from the Pocanos for anything “free.”
If McBeagle refuses my generosity, I shall donate it to cosilicious, whose appreciation for my wit is likewise appreciated.

I’m in the middle of grad school interviews, which means lots of loans, which means I’m going to be poor real soon. Like $10 lunches will be a crazy pipe dream poor.
-
I will eat my weight in salsa.
-
I have to study the whole weekend in my midtown office, a free burrito would literally make my month.
-
Because I believe in the beauty of random choices and will take a picture.
-
Because I have been on a burrito and guacamole kick, which, until now, has had to be fed via Chipotle. I need options! Plus, I’m in a wedding taking place ON Memorial Day, so my three-day weekend is shot to hell anyway…

Chucky, is sarah palin living under your sweaty tits?

wow Doc Chuck and Palin in the same sentence. I… I… I’m speechless….

1) Recommendations will not work. Mr. Brooks will end up handpicking ‘at random.’
2) isn’t it time we had a bajaiku.com? you must pay me royalties if you start this website.

McBeagle,
I’d sooner let YOU wax my butt hair than allow that trollop to occupy any of my body space.

1st The Honest Approach: Midtown is the most expensive place to eat lunch in the world! 2nd The Brown Nose Approach (but true): This website has lowered the amount of days I bring a brown bag.
3rd The Cheap Approach: I am a lowly clerk at some blah blah blah, shut it down. 4th The Generious Approach: I will take a homeless person with me as my plus one. 5th The I’ve Never Won Anything Approach: ah oh, I’ve Never Won Anything. 6th The I really don’t have this much time on my hands and need to get back to my work before I lose it and truely need free food approach… -
I think you should pick me because the wife and I have never had the pleasure of being to a Baja Fresh and we’d like to be de-flowered.
-
we wouldn’t be skinty if we didn’t enter!
-
I can’t wait for some Baja Fresh! every time I make it out to CA that’s my first stop. Even before ::gasp:: In-n-Out! I’m craving a steak baja burrito with a squirt of fresh lime right now!

Hmm… I should win because…
I am an unpaid intern working at a magazine publication just a few blocks away from this place in Midtown. As a full-time student taking 5 classes 2 days a week and working at my internship for the other 3 days a week– I am a foodie living in NY who can only look at menus and walk past great restaurants. No joke how broke I am.
Oh yea, and maybe the best reason: in making guacamole the other day I sliced my finger so badly the guac was unsalvageable. Mmm.
Um, I WILL win, because I’ll take Zach’s son with me, as my guest. How ’bout that?
Also, now that my lady Cyn and I are headed down the aisle (once Patterson gets it together and legalizes same-sex marriage – c’mon DP!!), I need to be checking out all the possible caterers for our reception. We’ve already lined up Kelly Clarkson and the Indigo Girls to play (Cyn LOVES “Closer to Fine”), and we’re gonna have Jada Pinkett Smith officiate, and Lauren Graham and Ellen Page as our flower girls, but I still need a caterer. Maybe it’ll be Baja Fresh?
Alright, Marinoni OUT!
