FREE EXERCISE CLASSES AT THE WATER
Yogilates Classes at the Water are created and led by instructors from Gold's Gym. Yogilates is a min/body workout that fuses elements of yoga with pilates to strengthen, tone and stretch the body. This program runs through September 6 and classes are scheduled for 7AM-8AM on Fridays and 10AM-11AM on Saturdays. In addition, the added bonus to these classes is that participants will be able to have a perfect vantage point to view all four of the falls that make up the celebrated New York City Waterfalls installation in the East River.

FREE SLURPEES
Do you love Slurpees? How about a free one?
Well, 7-Eleven's participating stores are offering customers a free Slurpee to celebrate their 81st birthday on - when else? - July 11, 7/11/08, also known as 7-Eleven® Day!
As has been the tradition for many years, the company will celebrate July 11 with free 7.11-ounce Slurpee® drinks for customers visiting its U.S. stores. Special birthday cups will be available while supplies last.
FREE ICE FOR YOUR PARTY
Every Saturday night in July, the Baileys Shiver Truck will run an “ice belt” through Manhattan so no one has to leave a great get-together to run to the store.
People of legal purchase age can text “Shiver” to 69866 between 7pm and 10:30pm each Saturday evening in July.
The truck will text back asking the address of the party. If inside the ice belt, the Shiver Ice Brigade will send a confirmation and bike messengers over with ice.
July 12: Upper West Side
