E & E Grill Offering Free Coffee This Morning: E&E Grill House, the new steak place on 49th btw. B'way+8th, is launching their new grab and go coffee program this morning and to celebrate they're  giving away free cups of Barrington Roasters coffee to their first 1,000 customers before 10am all day long. They're not open for lunch yet, and we're doubtful their lunch menu will be in the ML price range, but we'll take some free coffee! Freeloaders engage.
