Get a Free Starbucks Drink

Before we give thanks and enter into this (what's sure to be crazy) holiday season, it's always nice to get something for free. Among the free and inexpensive fitness and food events going on this month, Starbucks is offering a good deal: Buy one holiday drink and receive a second (of same or lesser value) for free. So, from November 17-20, 2-5 p.m., before you start preparing Thanksgiving dinner or shopping with the Black Friday masses, indulge in one with a friend, on the coffee giant. Since this chain is virtually everywhere, especially in New York, it's the perfect excuse to head to with a friend and split the difference.

When you're scouring the menu boards for the best free drink from Starbucks that will keep you warm without packing on the extra pounds? The Skinny Peppermint Mocha (100 calories in a Tall). You can also rely on a cappuccino (60 calories in a Tall) or if you're hungry and craving something sweet, a Starbucks Petite -- a mini-sized dessert like a Birthday Cake Pop or Peanut Butter Mini Cupcake (170-180 calories) -- to quell your hunger. While these aren't included in the free drink deal, they are totally still worth it.

So head over to one of my favorite spots for people watching -- Starbucks at 72 Spring Street or the huge Astor Place hub -- and enjoy your drink before the craziness of the season gets underway.
