This afternoon, our amigos at Eater scored confirmation that yesterday's headline-grabbing story—namely, the signs appearing on the shuttered Second Avenue Deli space announcing a certain newcomer to the neighborhood—was, as deduced, a hoax. Eater's takeaway: "First, though the year is early, we have a very clear front-runner for Hoax of the Year honors. Second, the services of this blog will no longer be needed. And third, we are expecting those responsible to come forward to claim their prize (photo of inkjet printer required for prize validation)." [Photo by Keith Kin Yan]
