If you’ve been curious to try the Crisp Asia (or any of the strange falafel creations at Crisp) but didn’t want to pay full price, here’s your big chance. Today’s deal over on InBundles gets you $10 worth of food at Crisp for just $5. The only downside? The gift certificate is only good at the 40th Street location (btw. 6+B’way).
Free Strawberries and Cream Alert: Thanks to Lunch'er Cindy for tipping us off to this one... all week long there will be Wimbledon madness in front Rock Center. Normally we'd recommend the big avoid but, once again, there's free strawberries and cream involved! Freeloaders engage.

To celebrate the 25th anniversary of New York Super Fudge Chunk, Ben & Jerry’s is launching an ice cream truck that will spend the next six weeks handing out free ice cream all over New York. According to their website the truck will launch on Monday, and if Grub Street is to be believed it will be in front of Moma (although they have the launch date listed as the 28th.) The truck will also be doing “office invasions” and is taking requests via their twitter feed. Freeloaders, prepare to engage.

At Midtown Lunch we’re not supposed to like things like 7-Eleven (unless they’re turned into Kwik E Mart’s of course.) For the most part, it’s really just a shinier corner bodega that happens to be a worldwide chain. Their pre-wrapped sandwiches evoke the same reactions as Walgreen sandwiches… but the one redeeming quality of 7-Eleven is their slurpees. Nothing like fluorescent icy drinks to alter my perception of good and evil. Also, there is nothing like free slurpees!
The new 7-Eleven on 8th ave and 37th street has been open for a couple of weeks now, but they’re doing a Grand Opening celebration today. According to a poster hanging in their front window there will be 300 free ‘gift bags’ and there will be free slurpees. The last time the 7-Eleven on 42nd did free slurpees, they only did 2oz cups so your mileage may vary on this. Still, there’s free samples of 7-Eleven food and you could win a free iPad. At this point, 7-Elevens are still a novelty for NYC, and freebies are always good. It goes down today from 5pm to 7pm, so slurpee loving freeloaders- engage!
