The List

Food: Kingsford Charcoal Grill-Fest

7am-7pm Mon Mar 12, in Madison Square Park

On Monday, world champion barbecuers will offer grilling demos and free meat to anyone who wanders into the semi-green confines of MSP. The event runs thru breakfast, lunch, and dinner -- if you feel awkward receiving three handout meals, try disguising your face with a rib-stache.

Services: Parking Market

This still-in-beta service aims to create a market for underutilized driveways, garage spaces, etc. Use it, and you can rent someone else's spot, or rent out your own -- though PW can't promise quality tenants, so don't be surprised if you return to find a toothless family roasting a dog outside their wheel-less camper.

Food: Natsumi

226 W 50th St, between 8th and Broadway; 212.258.2988

NYC's two dominant food forces come together in this Italian-Japanese fusion spot, with Liger-esque hybrids like seared salmon/buffalo mozzarella pizza and the Doppio Toro roll (tuna, yellowtail, crabstick, asparagus, and pesto). Sadly missing the cut: the meatballs-inside-beans creation "Edameatballs".

Drinks: Free McDonald's Coffee

Tomorrow only, all day long at all Tri-State metro area locations

To celebrate their fluke trouncing of Starbucks in a recent Consumer Reports poll, McD's is giving away cups of free mud. Use this link to find your coffee. You're on your own finding a clean restroom to deposit it in.

Thru Mar at 27 Little W 12th St, near Greenwich; 212.924.8700
