Long John Silver's restaurants now have "newspaper" in which they wrap their fish and chips. The "newspaper" has trivia facts such as "In what state was the first Long John Silver's restaurant opened?" Why I mention this is that one of the questions on the "newspaper" in my recent order asked, "What signature dish did LJS add to their menu in 2004 ?" and the answer was "Longoustine lobster bites."

200: Honestly, I had to read the question twice because when I saw "famous marathon", I thought Boston but once I read "Empire State Building", I'd realize it's New York City.

4K: Double Dip on Octopus and Lobster.

I would be back next show with 3 lifelines intact (ATA, PAF, ATE).

Not sure where you read it, as "Empire State Building" was not mentioned in the question nor answers.

Oh, sorry. I meant "Central Park".
