Ninjas Invade NYC
(& How You Can Score Free Swag)

So apparently I attract an audience that people want to market to. Something about me being a potential "tastemaker." Because I got three e-mails in a week from Lauren at Whisper PR about an event that I'd actually attend were it not [Major Offseason Event Night] (Yes, I know that made it really difficult to discern--ed.), I thought I'd pass it along to you crazy kids, mainly because it involves two awesome things -- alcohol and free swag -- and the clinching amazingness: NINJAS.

If you're around the city today from 2-4 p.m. (Love that lunch break!), there will be free-swag chucking ninjas invading various Manhattan parks on behalf of TY KU, a new Asian wine & Spirits brand. They'll be tossing hats, t-shirts and TY KU recipe cards at each location, with the sneak attacks culminating in a 100-Calorie Cocktail Happy Hour at Bryant Park Grill, with the "ninja party" continuing through the night via promotional TY KU Sake tastings at NYC liquor stores.

Schedule
  • 2:00-Ninjas descend on Madison Square Park
  • 2:15-Ninjas prowl to Washington Square Park
  • 2:30-Ninjas emerge at Washington Square Park
  • 2:45-Ninjas stalk over to Union Square Park
  • 3:00-Ninjas move like shadows through Union Square Park
  • 3:15-Ninjas escape to Bryant Park
  • 3:30-Ninjas hover & ambush in Bryant Park
  • 4:00-Mission complete, its time for Sake Bombs
Also, if you're of drinking age like you probably should be reading this b-l-o-g, make sure to enter their online “Ninja Getaway” Vegas Vacation contest, which could send you and a friend to Las Vegas, NV with round-trip airfare, a stay at a lavish hotel, nights out at the hottest clubs and lounges, tickets to a Las Vegas show, spa treatments and a personal Mixed Martial Arts lesson.

HAHA! You're telling me ACTUAL ninjas went out in public parks just to pass out SWAG??

Rodger said...

Tell me you went to the parks and actually caught these guys in action...any pictures??

The Brooklyn Boy said...

Marshall - Haha. Something like that.

Rodger - I couldn't make it, but I'd try their blog, which they maintain pretty regularly.
