At the beginning of snowboarding season, Ben & Jerry’s debuted the limited edition Maple Blondie (maple ice cream with blondie brownie chunks and a maple caramel swirl) in honor of boarder Hannah Teter and her charity, Hannah’s Gold. And since Hannah rocked it at the Olympics and won a silver medal, Ben & Jerry’s is celebrating with $1 scoops of her ice cream! Yesterday, the Rock Center location didn’t know anything about it and was out of Maple Blondie anyway; Macy’s didn’t pick up the phone. If for some reason the Midtown Ben & Jerry’s don’t get in on this, there’s always free cone day- which is only 20 days away!

According to Grub Street, Buttercup Bake Shop (on 2nd btw. 51+52nd) will be giving away free cupcakes tomorrow morning from 9-10am on Vanderbilt and 42nd St. (in front of Grand Central.) Apparently it’s to promote the launch of their new website, and Channel 11 news will be there. But we can’t help but wonder if the location has anything to do with the brand new Magnolia Bakery that just opened in Grand Central? Owner Jennifer Appel (who according to Grub Street will be handing out the cupcakes tomorrow) co-founded Magnolia before leaving in 2000 to open Buttercup in Midtown East. On the other hand- who cares about the why… freeloaders engage.

30% Off Cipriani Take Out: Today's Blackboard Eats email deal is a good one for Midtown Lunchers... get 30% off catering, breakfast or lunch from Cipriani Le Specialità (on 42nd btw. Mad+Park) across from Grand Central. This take out arm of the Cipriani empire is a bit to fancy to qualify as a true Midtown Lunch, but 30% off puts in right in the price range.

99 Cent Latte Alert: If you take the subway to work in the morning you may have seen ads that Dunkin Donuts is running their "any small latte for 99 cents" deal again. I tested it out at the Rock Center DD and they are running the promo (Although initially they charged me the full price, until I said something.)

Free Liquor Alert: Apparently they've been doing this for years, but I only noticed it today on Facebook... every Thursday from 5-7pm Uncle Jack's Steakhouse (on 56th btw. 5+6th & 9th btw. 34+35th) serves complimentary martinis for the ladies, and tastings of port, scotch, whiskey, and bourbon for gents. Freeloading lushes, engage.

Free ABP Swag Alert: We don't really care about the Au Bon Pain that is moving into the old Sbarro's space below 30 Rock, but for those of you who do... they're opening on Tuesday and the first 1,000 customers will get a free tumbler, which gets you discounted coffee at all of their locations.
