Free Buffet in Manhattan
Oh, do I have some food news here: The free happy hour buffet -- the staple of my college culinary experience -- can actually be found in Manhattan.

SouthwestNY, a restaurant and bar that faces the marina behind the Winter Garden at the World Financial Center, has a free buffet from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. -- but only on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday evenings. Granted, it was only a French-bread type pizza, but it was indeed free. Beware of the margaritas though -- they're absurdly potent.

The place has huge windows looking out at the Hudson and apparently in the summer they do outdoor seating as well; the bartender said they can seat 700 outside by the water.
