Foodsday Tuesday:  Suddenly, the Name Makes Sense

I'm Jewish, so Fat Tuesday was never anything but a holiday to me. I knew that it kicked off Lent, but seeing as I'm not supposed to give anything up for the next forty days (instead, I'll spend a week in April when God puts me on the Atkins Diet), the significance of the holiday that many of us will celebrate tonight (pass the beads, please!) has always been lost on me. As has the meaning of its name.

Foobooz reminds us that in honor of its opening, the new University City Chipotle is giving away free burritos—any burritos, even with the good stuff on top—all day today. And on top of that, Dunkin Donuts' Philadelphia locations are celebrating the Eagles' spot in the NFC Championship by giving away free 10 oz. coffees. So head out to University City today for lunch and save some green for dinner tonight. (If you can stand waiting in long lines in the cold, that is.)

If you see a Zipcar that has a Starbucks cup on its roof, don't be an asshole; tell the driver about it. For being a good samaritan, you will receive a $5 Starbucks gift card from the Zipcar's driver. We've seen this over the past two days, but there's no telling how long (or short) it will last. Karma does exist and it does pay to be nice.

I just got an email that really annoyed me.
