Oh, today is National Pancake Day. Let's go to the EVG inbox…
Since beginning its National Pancake Day celebration in 2006, IHOP restaurants have raised $13 million to support charities in the communities in which they operate. On March 4, 2014, guests from around the country will once again celebrate National Pancake Day at IHOP restaurants and enjoy a free short stack of Buttermilk pancakes*. In return for the free pancakes, guests will be asked to consider leaving a donation for Children's Miracle Network Hospitals© or other designated local charities. Visit IHOP between 7 a.m. and 10 p.m. to receive a free short stack of pancakes during the restaurant's effort to raise awareness for Children's Miracle Network Hospitals.
Meanwhile, the NYPD has the barricades up for the pancake-eating masses tomorrow…
Also, an ambulance is standing by in case you eat too many short stacks.
As a bonus for reading this far… we'll flash all the way back … to National Pancake Day here in 2012....
if I had the day off I'd totally do it. In fact maybe I'll do it anyway!:)
ReplyDeleteWack. The East Village's descent into being Middle America.
ReplyDeleteUmmmm, you fucking IDIOTS ever heard of buying a box of Bisquik and making your OWN PANCAKES? Lazies!
D
At least there was an ambulance to pick up the wounded-now a days they just cart the bodies over to Union Sq and recycle
ReplyDeleteless people will stand in line to vote these days, this is just horrifying to me, someone should tell the homeless about this event.
ReplyDeleteAnon 9:19 you should toootally do it. It'll be sooo worth the wait. Pancakes are so hard to come by, and so pricey too, during the other 364 days of the year. This is your chance.
ReplyDeleteOh, and Anon 9:19, I hope you got your bear coat back!
ReplyDeleteThere is a big difference between urban Ihop and suburban Ihop, here people stand waiting on the sidewalk in the burbs they sit in their cars waiting. How is this different from the poor folks that line up on Ave Ave along the park to get meals from a charity?
ReplyDeleteIt's all about chicken fried steak my friends. But not here.
ReplyDeletethe text a mother never wants to receive: "MOM I AM AT IHOP AND IT IS THE BEST THING EVER."
ReplyDeletei have failed as a parent.
ugh. the food is nasty at that ihop.
ReplyDeleteStanding in a long line for something simple you can make at home for a couple of dollars? I hope at least the homeless and people in need are able to get some.
ReplyDelete10:45/11:27 this is 9:19. I'm an old lady and I like free stuff, What can I say.:) if this bear coat you refer to is free I'm interested in that too!
