EAST VILLAGE—Bad news, from a Racked tipster: "I don't know if you reported on it, but I just passed Air Market—the cute, all-things-Japanese boutique in the EV—and it had a 'closing sale' sign in the window. It's one of those places I haven't actually stepped into since high school, but it's a bit of a bummer." [RackedWire Inbox]

NATIONAL—Tomorrow, all 7-Eleven locations will be giving out free slurpees in honor of the company's 81st birthday. They'll be handed out in special 7.11-ounce cups. "They are also introducing the first Slurpee Energy Drink called Black Ice. The new black-colored drink will include a full dose of the popular Monster Energy." Yikes. [FastFoodCritic]
