Big Apple

It'll be free food, free drinks.

People will line up down the streets and incredible experience as you walk through this Big Apple themed Apple flavor, Big Apple themed event in the Big Apple, New York City.

It's like, that's a million dollars that I have no idea if target sales will go up the next day.

But it's like, that's how you build a brand.

Your girl is headed up to New York City.

live in my big city Apple life.

But we will, I'll be up there for a few days and then I'm gonna go totally MIA and silent.

Have you guys ever heard of the Queen Mary 2 ship? I'm gonna be taking that, sailing across the Atlantic, leaving out of New York City, seven days at sea.

Oh, and it's New York.

It's the big Apple.

It's Madison square garden.

Um, But Dorfiev clearly came out – I thought he came out fine to start the season.

Didn't know that.

Did you know that? Did you know that the Statue of Liberty, the conspiracy theorists think that it's a sign of the devil? Chat GPT'd that thing, because it's in the Apple, it's in the Big Apple, which was in the Garden of Eden, and there's th- there's something else.

You know, there's those types of things where you look at like H&H or Big Apple, right? You know, or if you look at the behemoths of the Einstein brothers of the world, right? Um, all very great and fantastic restaurants, but I think we fit and fill a niche there somewhere that they're not necessarily tapping into.

Mm-hmm

Uh, be happy to reach out.

But no, think of us as, um, really a destination, right? You know, it's a place where, you know, we put our guests forward and, you know, they can get that same experience every time, fantastic quality food, great environment, and really a one-of-a-kind experience is what we're offering.

So, um, you know, we- we like to say it's, uh, where the Big Apple meets the Big Island, right? You know, it's, uh, a great opportunity for somebody to try something new and- and to also to get familiar things too, like the lox and bagels like you mentioned.

Were you originally from New York or you just kinda wanted the New York bagel vibe?
