Starbucks at New York Sports Clubs?

Starbucks and New York Sports Club logosI was leaving the New York Sports Club I joined a few days ago yesterday and noticed they were having some kind of promotion. Set up in the lobby was a table full of free Starbucks coffee and food.

While I'm always a fan of free food, I had trouble understanding why they were packing the lobby of a health club with fat and calorie filled "food" from Starbucks. I noticed coffee cake (570 calories, 28g of fat per serving) and what seems to be "White Chocolate Macadamia Nut" cookies (470 calories, 27g of fat per serving).

I think Starbucks was sponsoring the day, but shouldn't whoever arranged this cross-promotion actually thought this through? On another note, they promised me there would be healthier food that evening.
