Iron Throne Rickshaws: NYC Truly is the Greatest City on Earth


There’s been a lot of creative promotion for HBO’s upcoming adaptation Game of Thrones, from storefronts featuring the fashions of Westeros to food-trucks selling recipes inspired by the books. This latest one cracks me up, and makes me wish I lived in NYC, because I would totally comb the city looking for one of these babies to hitch a ride on.

GRRM dropped a hint over on his blog that these were coming around, but this is the first image of one in the wild. No clue how many of these are peddling around NYC or how long they’ll be around so if you live in the Big Apple and are a fan of A Song of Ice and Fire, you better hop on one when you see it.

And if you do happen to ride on one, tell me how glorious it is. I may never get the opportunity to ride one, but I can live vicariously through you.
