As a way of thanking our paid supporters, we’re giving those membership fees back in the form of our Getaway Giveaways, with the help of our generous co-sponsors.
On “odd” months (May, July, September, November, January, and March), our paid subscribers may enter our Getaway Giveaways, in which we’ll be throwing you guys gift cards – not only towards Upstate stays, but also to our Upstate and Downstate partners.
This month’s co-sponsor is the beloved Egg Shop, who’s generously donated five $100 gift cards for our subscribers to win. Five additional winners may choose from any of the fourteen locations below to receive a $100 gift card from Escape Brooklyn. That’s ten chances to win. Ten.
