Memorial Day
This year, Memorial Day will be on Monday, May 31, 2010. Breakaway will be closed in honor of our brave soldiers who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. Let’s not forget it’s also the beginning of the summer season. We are ready to take your entire summer wardrobe and other accoutrements to all beaches and summer homes within a 200-mile radius of Boston and New York. Call us for details.
Rice on Chicken?
That is correct. We knew the sign wasn’t quite right but that’s typical for our “hood” Isn’t it chicken on rice? Since when does the rice go on top of the chicken? Only on 8th Ave. between 34th and 42nd where we saw the preposterous sidewalk sign. We work in an area known for its “unique” cuisine. It’s all under $10.00 including the morning sopa with a little 8th Ave grit, not grits.
Storage on Demand
We were happy to accommodate a customer’s need to store 75 cartons for two weeks. Their client, from Texas, thought it would be just dandy to ship 75 cartons to a one-bedroom apartment. Come on Tex, we’re not living on three acres up here. Enter Breakaway to the rescue! Tex sent the cartons straight to our midtown warehouse. We stored the boxes for an upcoming trade show. Our customer was thoroughly grateful to have a BIG problem solved. So was Buster the Cat.
CJ’s
We have started a new genre of media jockey. Not disc jockey or video jockey but Cycling Jockey. Visit our web site with a growing catalog of cityscapes by bicycle by our own in-house “CJ’s: All CJ’s have their own style and peculiarities.

Your order will automatically pop up on our dispatch screen at the appropriate time and the courier will appear like magic. Call us to set it up.
Stump the Band
Last month we asked: Who was the first American born sumo wrestler to break into the top tier makuuchi division of Japanese sumo? Answer: Henry Armstrong Miller, who wrestled as a Japanese rikishi under the name of Sentoryu in July of 1988.
T-Shirt Question
President John F. Kennedy was born in May. What is the name of the hospital in which he was born? The first person to call Gil Ortiz with the correct answer will win one of our coveted Breakaway T-Shirts. (supplies recently replenished)
