Breakaway News Volume No. 19 Issue No. 10 October 2014
/All Hallows
It’s that time of year, when ghastly pint-sized ghouls and goblins come knocking at your door, looking for some scary, tasty morsels to rot their teeth. That means, of course, that you’ll need lots of sweets on hand! We wish all of our customers a safe and happy Halloween, and remember; we can deliver your bags of sugar rush right to your door.
Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah
With the recent talk of an aerial gondola connecting Brooklyn and Manhattan, we got to thinking: maybe getting from place to place via skyway is not such a fanciful idea. What about ziplines between buildings? You could start out in midtown and zip your way from the Empire State Building right on down to Wall Street faster than a Breakaway messenger!
High Life Line
Breakaway customer Friends of the High Line, and the rest of the city, have reason to celebrate: the third, and final, phase of the High Line is complete! The High Line elevated park’s northern terminus is now at 34th street, across the street from the Javits Center. It’s also the only non-elevated entry into the park. It’s great for us; our offices are right near there. Join us there for lunch?
T-Shirt Hunt
Breakaway couriers are required to wear our logoed t-shirts, jackets and other gear, but occasionally we catch one or two of them out of uniform. If you spot one of our couriers with Breakaway gear, give us a call. If the messenger was indeed out of uniform, you’ll win a coveted Breakaway T-shirt of your own!
Leaf Peeping
The air is turning crisper and cooler, and that means that fall has arrived. It also means that trees all throughout the northeast are going to start the landscape into a canvas of fiery colors. Get out there and ogle the falling leaves. We fully intend to.
Logical Logistics
Recently, our logistics and trucking department helped many customers through their Fashion Week challenges. For example: six customers needed help with setting up at the Javits Center over one weekend, and we had six vans waiting there for them to provide all the logistical support needed for them to have successful showings. Call our logistics department and find out what we can make easy for you?
Stump the Band
Last month, we asked what the biblical names of Rosh Hashanah are. Answer: Day of Remembrance or the Day of the Sounding of the Shofar (Ram’s Horn).
T-Shirt Question
Today it’s a beautiful park but what entity was the former owner of what is now the High Line Park? The first one to call Gil Ortiz with the correct answer will win a coveted Breakaway T-shirt.
