Free! No word sounds sweeter to my big ears than “free!” Except maybe when you say “free meal!” Then I’m off the charts! Because you see, free dinner makes me a dangerous lady with some money in my pocket; keep up! Thank you, Bruno.
I surveyed the Route 1 Corridor for you, my lovelies, and came up with this list of nearby restaurants where you get free (or practically free) lunch/dinner for your young’ns when you purchase an adult’s meal. Some are a wee bit beyond the Corridor as I know some of you like to wander beyond Route 1, on occasion. And after some therapy, I’ve realized that that’s OK; we can still be friends. Just not my inner circle. 😆
Along with a Fendi bag and a bad attitude, this Kids Eat Free list is all you’ll need to get yourself in a good mood. Help me get the word out, help some families out and share this with your fab social network!
Sincerely yours,
Around Your Way Girl.
*If you know of other local restaurants that offer free/cheap kids’ meals, please let me know. Always happy to update!
**Call before you go as these offers change frequently. And, if your meal/service was good and you’re in a position to tip a little extra to account for the free meal(s), go for it. This food service employee from days of yore thanks you!
***LL Cool J and Bruno Mars weave-ins free of charge! 🙂
