NYC new slogan. I don't get it.

[RickM]

Just up on Yahoo: "NYC Seeks to Trademark a New Slogan"

...which is..... "The World's Second Home"

Why would one want "second" in their slogan?

Its true. Kind of. That is how The Trump keeps in business with his oversized ugly buildings.. 90% of the apartments are really not lived in - just a pad in NYC for the wealthy from around the world.. Even the storied Plaza Hotel is going condo. Tourism is the only thing feeding this tax-hungry beast. Keep'em coming and off my back..

I think it's like saying... 'your home away from home' without the confusing repetition. :shrug:

I love New York City. Worked there in the late 60's, honeymoon night at the Waldorf, just recently there on Jan 1 -3 for a little shopping spree.
Enjoy the theateres and the delis.
Yes, second home just about fits. Someplace you always want to come back to and feel at home there.

For non-Metro New Yorkers it's a lot like a second home -- We pay the colossal upkeep on a place that is of limited use to us, and then only once or twice a year. It smells when you get there, takes a few days to acclimate, and you really appreciate real home when you return.

I'm a 7-year veteran of NYC.

My slogan for NYC: "It'll Always Be There, So I Don't Have To."

I would have said: "New York: It's where McSorley's is."

Great replys....and you're all coming up with better slogans. Too bad you're not getting the millions a PR firm most likely got.

"New York: The World's......What IS THAT smell?"

[Overpaid Slacker]

Letterman had a great one, years ago:

"Ahh, New York, where in the autumn you can watch the birds turn color and fall from the trees."

Or, also Letterman: "New York, the only place in the world where you can be awakened in the middle of the night by a smell."
