It’s FREE STUFF FRIDAY! WOOT WOOT. And on the topic of free, did you guys know free food is my absolute weakness? Especially when it’s at a spot I already want to try.

So naturally, we’re giving away a $150 meal for two at Lindens in SoHo. This spot goes hard for fall, with everything from oyster trios and loaded pizzas to dry-aged steaks and, of course, a lineup of specialty cocktails. Enter to win!
