Securing a free breakfast, however, requires a bit more finesse. The man shared that he dresses up a bit nicer and heads to the hotel restaurant.

He orders whatever he likes and savours the meal. When the waiter comes to settle the bill and asks, “Card, credit, or charge to a room?” he simply responds, “Charge to the room.” He will then write down a random room number and name, ensuring he leaves before the payment processes.

With the sheer number of hotels in New York City, he claims that one could employ this strategy for 10 years without visiting the same hotel twice.

In his words:

“For the last two months, I haven't paid for a single meal in New York City. "How is that possible?" you ask. It's simple, free hotel meals. New York has 3,600 hotels, and many of those offer complimentary breakfast. By walking in and acting like you're supposed to be there, you can simply grab bacon, eggs, and toast at any Hilton or Marriott in the city. The real trick is securing free lunch or dinner. To do this, you dress up a bit nicer and head to the restaurant. Order whatever you'd like, enjoy the occasion. When the waiter comes, he is going to ask, "Card, credit, or charge to a room?" Say, "Charge to the room." Then write down a random room number and name, and make sure you leave before the payment prcesses. With 3,600 hotels, you can do this for 10 years without double dipping.”
