Free Pastrami Alert: Save the Deli: The Book comes out today, and to celebrate they're having a signing tonight at 7:30pm at Ben's Deli (on 38th btw. 7+8th). Apparently there will be free "meats, mustards, and deli food galore." (Thanks to Lunch'er Apikoros for the link, and NYChar for the reminder.)

Thanks to Niko from Dessert Buzz for forwarding along this early photo from Melt, the new gelato and crepe cafe (on 2nd Ave. btw. 55+56th) that’s attempting to break a world record by giving out free gelato until 7pm tonight. Apparently as of 12:10 there still was no line… but I’m guessing the scene isn’t quite as serene right now. Or maybe rainy day = perfect day for freebies! If you end up braving the lines (and the rain) feel free to post updates in the comments so other lunch’ers know if it’s worth it. (According to Niko it’s “easily competitive with Grom or Il laboratorio Del Gelato.”)
Update: “20 people on line right now at 1:22 p.m. — that is about 5—7 minutes says Gino the manager…”

Free Gelato Alert: Here's a category of world records I can definitely get behind: Tomorrow (Thursday 10/15) from 11am to 7pm the newly opened Melt Gelato and Crepe Cafe (on 2nd Ave. btw. 55+56th) will be giving away thousands of cups of FREE gelato in an attempt to set a new World Record. (They'll also be taking donations for Breast Cancer research...)

Free Coffee and Snacks from the 80s (?) Alert: The ING Direct Cafe (on 58th and 3rd) is having some sort of 80s party today from Noon to 2pm, featuring free classic arcade games (fun!), "80’s snack food items" (whatever that means?), and a raffle to win Pat Benatar tickets (whoa!) Plus if you mention Midtown Lunch, they'll give you a free coffee.

Free Carvel Alert: Eagle eyed lunchers have pointed out that Carvel will be giving away free Oreo cookie ice cream sandwiches tomorrow from 3-7pm, but the location on Broadway btw. 43+44th is not participating and the one in 2 Penn Plaza doesn't exist anymore. Sucks to be us. Update: According to Lunch'er "Cosilicious" there is a Carvel at 1 Penn Plaza and it is participating! Freeloaders, engage.

via Twitter: From 11am to Noon Goodburger will be giving out free Organic Veggie Burgers at all their locations. It’s a “while supplies last” situation, and eat in only (no takeout or delivery) so it looks like it’s going to be an early lunch for all you vegetarian freeloaders. Goodburger has 3 Midtown locations (Lex & 54th, 45th btw. 5+6th, and 43rd & 2nd Ave.)

Not only do you get a small coffee and a bag of doughnut holes from Tim Horton’s (my bag had 5!) at the NYPL on 40th and 5th, but you also get a coupon for a free hot, iced, iced Capp, or latte from TH. Bonus! (I’m kind of addicted to the iced capps.)
Oh, there’s also a giant coffee cup with arms and legs and some sort of library lion handing out fliers. As free stuff promos go, it kind of can’t be beat. They’ll be there until 11pm or until they run out.
