My most popular post from 2024 is NYC birthday freebies so I’m back with a 2025 version! Sadly a lot of places have cut back on their birthday freebies or require a purchase. Here are some (forgot to take photos of all) 1. A lot of restaurants will give you $5 off if you are signed up through Toast loyalty programs. Here is a vodka eggplant parm sandwich from Andrew Bellucci's Pizzeria in Astoria. I also got a coupon from Mala Project but didn’t get a chance to use 2. Baskin Robbin’s - Free ice cream scoop! I got another scoop for signing up on the app 3. Little Beet - $15 off, which covered a salmon, avocado, and rice bowl. Here's a link to download the Little Beet app! Open in app? 4. Paris Baguette - free slice of cake 5. Barry’s Bootcamp - free class (best value at $40) 6. Sephora - free birthday item, I got the Laneige lip set 7. Crumbl - free cookie, I got this massive carrot cake one 8. Daily Provisions - free cruller with purchase, got the seasonal blood orange flavor Others I didn’t take photos of: 9. Starbucks - free drink on your birthday 10. Mah-Ze-Dahr West Village - free slice of cake, I got the cheesecake, REGISTER
