Yes, it’s free money to buy food! According to two eager-to-email passersby, Starbucks representatives are giving away $5 gift cards in front of Lerner. Bwog remains perplexed, and skeptical of tipster Ben Isham’s explanation that this “string-free free money” is “part of a promotion to ‘educate’ students about how their parents can reload them monthly.” Regardless of stodgy-hearted Bwog’s trepidations, undercaffeinated opportunists are encouraged to mob any Starbucksers who may remain on campus.

UPDATE 4:10 PM: On a somewhat related note, first ice cream truck of the season spotted on 112th! Photographic evidence after the jump.
