Rules of Bumming Vol 4: Work the Town


Ah New York. So much bustle so much activity so many events to go to, from art openings, to movie screenings, to street fairs. And you know what? A lot of these things have free food. The other day me and my boys Griff and Loaf were walking down the SoHo streets at night when we spied an art opening. Art openings are really fantastic. You go in and depending on the gallery there will be either an open bar or a hor'douvres spread. Most places if they serve any food will serve finger foods or those tiny water crest sandwiches, so make sure you grab like 6 or 7 of each thing if your aiming to fill up (keep an eye out for pigs in a blanket, these are like the holy grail of finger food). All these events have booze, but watch out because once a bottle of white comes out its usually gone in 5 minutes (its the art crowd after all). Of course there are many other events with free food besides art shows. Hit up your local culinary institute for free tastings, or raid Dean and Deluca for free samples. Take advantage of deals like Ben and Jerrys free cone day. Everyday I wake up and say "somewhere in New York someone is giving out free food."
