Thanks to Paul Miller (and many other readers) who dropped a picture of this hoarding at W48th and 9th Avenue into our Instagram feed. Many of you will know Paul as the manager at Amy’s Bread. He will be starting 2023 in a new role in a position on the management team of Hershey’s Chocolate World in Times Square. “Such a SWEET opportunity! Only downfall, my walk to work went from 3 minutes to 7 minutes, but I’ll adjust,” he said. Congratulations and good luck, Paul!
