Get Free KFC From CMT Today and Tomorrow

We can’t say we love it when corporations co-opt food trucks for marketing purposes, but when free fried chicken is involved who are we to complain!? Thanks to Lunch’er Rachel for sending in this report…

In honor of Friday’s premiere of Top Secret Recipe, Country Music Television is giving out free KFC original recipe chicken out of a branded food truck in midtown. The truck was on 44th btw. B’way & 6th Ave. yesterday, but today it will be parked on 46th btw. B’way and 6th from 11am-4pm (or, until they run out). And tomorrow, the truck will return to its 44th street location.

Freeloaders, prepare to engage.

7-11 Free Coffee Reminder: Remember the free 7-11 coffee thing we told you about last week? Well, tomorrow morning is the big giveaway. From 7am to 11am you can get a free medium coffee from all participating 7-11. We're assuming that includes all the Midtown locations, including the the one that just opened last week at the corner of 33rd and Madison.

Free Samples From the ICCC in Times Sq Today?

This just in from Lunch’er Rachel…

Just like last year, the International Chinese Culinary Competition has taken over the the 46-to-47th street block of Times Square and today is the finals.  Technically food is for ticket holders only, but yesterday they were handing out samples to bystanders while the chefs were cooking, and there are stalls surrounding the competition, mostly on the west side of the street that were also giving food tastings and product samples of various Chinese eats. They’re just setting up now and the noodle stall definitely appears to be prepping samples (and the others seem to be following suit.) They haven’t started the cooking competition portion yet though so samples from that is unclear. Unfortunately the weather today is pretty crappy for an outdoor event but if there are free nibbles, I’m in!

Free Coffee Alert: Tomorrow Next Thursday (9/29) between 7 and 11 a.m. everyone can make a morning stop at participating 7-Eleven stores to receive a free medium-size cup of hot coffee.  We don't know for sure that the Midtown locations are participating, but the one on 37th & 8th gave out slurpees and an iPad at their grand opening, and the one on 42nd btw. 8+9th turned itself into a Qwik-E-Mart... so what's a little free coffee amongst friends!?  UPDATE: Sorry!  This is actually happening next Thursday.

Bistro Truck Handing Out Free Turkey Burgers All Week Long

Those of you who work around 53rd and 6th Ave. might have noticed this truck setting up shop today for some event… it’s actually the Bistro Truck, repurposed for a week long promotion to spread the word about turkey.  They’ll be giving out free turkey burgers every day this week starting tomorrow, but won’t be in Midtown until Friday (on 52nd and Park).  We can’t say we love turkey, but we love free stuff and the Bistro Truck can make anything taste delicious!  As for today’s craziness?  We were told it was a media only preview event… but who knows? Maybe they’ll start giving stuff away to slackjawed passerbys…
