Furiously chewing your fingernails to the bone won't make those 24-hour cupcake ATM machines come any faster to NYC—so tide yourself over with some free cupcakes courtesy of Sweetery today.
Sweetery has teamed up with the Food Network to give away 1,000 cupcakes at four different locations around Manhattan all day. They already gave some out at Husdon and King Street this morning, but there are three more chances to catch them: at 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. at 50th Street between 6th and 7th Ave; at 1:30 p.m. and 3:30 p.m. 7th Avenue between 36th and 37th Street; and between 4 p.m. and 5:30 p.m. at Broadway between 52nd and 53rd Street. The giveaway will only last as long as they have cupcakes, so you better get out there quick if you want some.
