Free Taxi Rides
In celebration of their milestone 80th Anniversary, Cole Haan will bring a little luck to unexpected New York consumers beginning today with the launch of Cole Haan's "Lucky You" Program. Hail a cab in New York, and find the fee already paid.

The "Lucky You" program, which celebrates luck in its truest form, allows Cole Haan to thank its loyal consumers with continued excitement and anticipation on the eve of its 80th Anniversary. Just make sure to hail the cab with the Cole Haan Penny imagery on its taxi top.

Shrek the Third
Enjoy Shrek the Third tonight, at 8 p.m. at Madison Street Association Garden (974 Madison Street) in Brooklyn. Bring the kids and and join the fun as everyone's favorite ogre takes us on another magical, but not so blissful, story of the world of the "happily ever after."
