More cheap and free food

1) Blackboard Eats is giving out codes for 30% off buzzy gastropub Mary Queen of Scots (115 Allen St.). They have a limited number of passcodes, so get on it. 

2) The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas and the Food Network have set up shop at the Slice (Little W. 12th St. at Gansvoort Plaza) from today through 10.3. A bunch of free food-related events are going on, which also means free tastings.

- Stop by every morning 11a-1p for free illy espresso and samples of "morning juice mixology" (don't worry, non-alcoholic).

- Friday 9.30 kickoff with a Wicked Spoon buffet (free small plates) from 6-9p.

- Sunday 10.2 Zagat is hosting a free olive oil tasting at 1p (limited seating).
