Chicken Sandwich With a Claw !?
“Because our chickens are organic, free-range and vegetarian-fed,

NYC Issues New Trick Or Treating Guidelines
New York City has issued new guidelines for what is now being called ‘Coronaween’. The city is recommending that trick or treaters stick to the outdoors, avoid the inside of apartment buildings and only accept candy given out in a bowl. They are also asking that people wear a mask on top of whatever costume they already have on – even if the outfit includes a mask. Looks like the Hazmat suit is a lock to be this year’s most popular costume.
