It's said "there's no such thing as a free lunch," but this week, disregard that axiom. Pret a Manger is opening a new location in Hudson Yards (20 Hudson Yards, 4th Floor near The Edge entrance) on Thursday, August 10.
After the ribbon-cutting at 11am, the cafe is giving away 150 free lunch items on a first-come, first-served basis. Customers can choose any one of the restaurant's sandwiches, baguettes, wraps or salads plus one barista-made drink.
The 1,456 square-foot shop will offer Pret’s full product range, including Pret’s new summer recipes and pink guava and blueberry lemonades.
After the opening, the shop will be open from 9am-7:30pm Monday-Saturday and 10am–6pm on Sundays.
This opening marks the first of three Pret shops opening in NYC this fall.
