That photo... hysterical.
Given it's importance as a NYC institution, we feel it's important that we feature a photo picturing the re-opening of the 2nd Avenue Deli today, now in Murray Hill. The original photo we used can still be seen here. One can read more of our coverage of the 2nd Avenue Deli re-opening from last week here.
Please bring back the wildlife shot. That was beautiful!
Well, I like pastrami, too. But the sock squirrels were brilliant. :(
PR Newswire doesn't have eyes. They're a pay wire service. The press release was written and issued by NYC & Company, which is the official marketing and tourism organization for the City of New York. In other words, our tax dollars wrote and payed for that release.
Good God! I thought that was a deep fried rat!
"You have to scream loud when you're screaming"? What the fuck does that even mean? The world would be a better place if it were purged of marketing execs.
I think screaming loud when screaming may be the definition of marketing.
