Free Grilled Cheese, Burgers From MasterCard: This is the third week of the MasterCard Priceless NY promotion and today there are a couple of options. Milk Truck (grilled cheese) and Frites N Meats are at Broad btw. Water & South. You have to have a MasterCard and re-tweet or do a Facebook "like," but in return you get a free lunch!

MasterCard’s Free Food Truck Lunch Is Back Today

Last Thursday we got free lunch from a couple of trucks but this week ups the ante with the MasterCard Priceless NY Food Truck Feast bringing us four free lunch opportunities downtown. Details are here but if you have a MasterCard and retweet with the #PricelessNY tag or like them on Facebook, you can get free food from Schnitzel & Things and Green Pirate on Broadway btw. Spring & Broome, and Crisp on Wheels and GO Burger on Hanover Sq. btw. Water & Pearl. There are two more weeks of this Thursday promotion so some of you can plan on leaving your lunch at home.

Free Swag From Sweetery Today: It's pretty gross out today but it you work near Hudson & King you might want to go hit up the Sweetery truck this morning. They're giving away free bags of Coffee Lab coffee beans which is what they use on the truck. Let the freeloading begin!

All-Clad Food Truck Parking In Front Of Sur La Table Wednesday (With Free Porchetta)

Thanks to those of you who pleaded your case of being one of the four VIPs at tomorrow’s All-Clad food truck stop in Soho.You can find the truck in front of the Sur La Table store at Spring & Crosby from noon until 2 p.m. It’s one of a bunch of stops featuring different chefs doing cooking demonstrations, and at this one chef Marc Murphy will be making a porchetta sandwich with pickled onions and tomato rosemary jam (!) and giving out free samples (so you could possibly call it a light lunch if you really want to freeload). At least this food truck tie-in has a little more relevance than blue jeans or airlines.

Win One Of Four VIP Spots At All-Clad Food Truck Stop

We don’t often post things about the increasing number of promo food trucks gracing the streets (tacos and Gap jeans anyone?), but this one involves free things for some of you Downtown Lunch’ers. Cookware maker All-Clad is launching a truck next week, and will make stops throughout Manhattan giving cooking demonstrations with chefs, and more importantly, giving out food samples from what is being cooked. One of the stops will be in Soho on September 21, and we’re giving away four VIP spots to meet chef Marc Murphy who you may have seen on the Food Network (or eaten at one of his fancy restaurants) and get a tour of the truck. There will also be some freebies involved. Interested? Tell us in the comments why you should be on of the four VIPs chosen, and obviously being in the Soho area at lunch time on the day of the stop is required. You have through Monday, Sept. 19 to try to snag one of the spots.

Pret In Tribeca Opens With Free Food

Here’s a nice end to your week in lunches: Pret A Manger is having a grand opening at its store on Church St. (at Park Pl.) today and according to Tribeca Citizen is giving away free sandwiches (although there’s no specification on what kind or whether you can shove more than one into your purse). It all goes down starting at noon, so plan accordingly.

It’s National Waffle (Wafel?) Day!: Just in case you forgot, National Waffle Day is upon us. Wafels & Dinges will have its truck on Hanover Sq. today and will be crowning Mr. and Miss Wafel following a contest starting at 1 p.m. And freeloader alert: If you do a drawing of the truck or write a poem about waffles you can get your hands on a free wafel from the truck.
