Now with free cupcakes? Updated!

More up on my new Onion/Decider food events column, well it's more Sean's, but I'm helping a bit.

That's right. Thursday. Cupcakes. Champagne. Wine. Delish. Downtown. Free.

June 18th the AMOA is hosting the talented Jenny Hart for what they call a "Communicrafting" event. Come for the crafting, stick around the for the complimentary champagne and desserts. Also check out the Chrontourage event: we're talking free Rudy's, free bourbon, free Shiner all at Twin Liquors Marketplace.

Friday is the usual free cocktails and food Joie De Vie from 5-8.


Saturday the 20th, stop for brunch at Sagra where fashionista meets foodie in the sense that Soigne boutique will pair up with trattoria treats for a fun filled morning. It is unfortunately not free but the Tribeza write up promises it to be a feast for the eyes and palate with pastry dishes like scones and muffins escalating into jumbo asparagus and corn polenta then on to peaches with vanilla bean meringue (and more). The $20 price tag gets you all this and a swank sounding gift bag. The very next day? Sagra is hosting a Burlesque Brunch, featuring the Jigglewatts. Show starts at 2.

Even more fashion, cocktails, and snacks (but this one's free) complete with local models, giveaways, and it's all at Saks from 3-5. RSVP to: events@makingthingsclear.com

I know two weeks from now seems like a long ways away, but if I were you... I'd get on the mailing list of every wine bar in the city in hopes of figuring out which one is having their 1 Year Anniversary Party that night. I'm not going to give away too many specifics, because the free food and drink will only be available while supplies last, and well, I'm a big fan of their food and drink.
