Posted on by

0

Yes, it is that time again. This time 20 days of discounted menus for all you bargain hunters. Below are our recommendations which we hope will prove useful to you. Some restaurants did not post their RW menus, but such is life. Your mileage may vary in terms of Lunch/Dinner, so please check accordingly. We feel the selection is much thinner than years past, but I guess you can still save a bundle if hitting multiple venues. Oh yeah, don’t forget to redeem your $20 off by using your AMEX. You can register by clicking on the pic above. Feel like we left something out? Comment below.

Get updates @FritesNmeats regarding their whereabouts on Monday. Per their blog…

We wanted to do something for our fans but were just pondering the venue and timing…..

More particularly, the places we served everyone…Midtown, FiDi, SoHo, TriBeCa (exact locations to be tweeted).
We did not forget about uptown, we will get you guys when school is in session :)

Although the forecast says 30% chance of rain on Monday, there will be a 100% chance of Free Frites…this is the least we can do for you guys.

Our Monday Mission is to reach the above destinations (find parking) and give 100+ Free Frites at every location.

BTW….some of you might see us this weekend in the city (can’t tell you where ;) …but the Free Frites will be for Monday.

See you guys Monday…until then, Have a Great Weekend :)

Free Turkey Burgers from Bistro Truck and Jennie-O JUL26-30 (updated)

L: The crew, R: Brooklyn-Style Turkey Burger (Thurs)

RECAP: Lines up the wazoo, as expected. We were at 312/500 free burgers in the queue at 12:20pm. Roughly a 20min wait amounted to…? We’re going to tell it like it is: the burger was straight up bland. I tasted no cumin or oregano in the burger AT ALL. The potato bun, while soft and chewy, was way bigger than the patty and totally overshadowed the star of the show, the turkey. We enjoyed the cool wraparound wrapper though. Free tees (all sz L) were handed out to those who posed with a turkey burger, with a release form signature so they could post pics up on their site. If you are not swayed by our feedback, feel free to check it out for yourself, as there are 2 days remaining to claim your free burgers! PICS HERE

Thursday, July 28 – Old Slip Street and Water FIDI -  The Brooklyn-Style Turkey Burger – A turkey burger sprinkled with oregano, cumin and chili powder, cooked, and fried red onions and cheddar cheese are added.
