Birthday freebies

[daniellempls]

Hello- I had searched on the old board and didn't find anything, but I was looking for all the different kinds of birthday freebies people knew about. Whether an email coupon type thing or mentioning at a restaurant or showing an ID. I know of a few:

Lindy's Steakhouse- $25 postcard good the week before through the week after your birthday
sign up on line or in person for Birthday Club

Caribou- free drink email coupon on day of birthday; sign up on line

Macy's Oak Grill- free dessert if you mention you are there for your birthday

What else?

soupkitten- safron sounds like something cool. I will have to sign up. Though my birthday is all the way in December..

I know I missed one more-

Manning's Bar on Como- they will give you a free Schooner(large glass) of beer on the day of with ID

you can sign up at saffron and chef wahdi sends a nice card and gift cert good for 2 glasses of wine in the month before your b-day, which he hand-writes and signs. it's really a very gracious & nice gesture, and i think you can use it whenever, not just around your b-day. i don't normally take advantage of b-day deals--probably because 1) i don't know where they at (so i'll be sure to follow this thread), 2) i'm always broke around my own b-day and seldom go out ;-P --- but i think this is a great deal at a great restaurant.

Al Vento sends an e-mail discount coupon...can't remember for how much. (I think they also do one for wedding anniversaries.)

Longfellow Grill sends a coupon for free dessert

There was something posted in the Taste section on startribune.com back in Dec. '09. They advise you call to double check-but here is the link:
