It was originally planned for Sept. 19, but we pushed back publishing our largest annual edition for several obvious reasons. Primarily, in the midst of New York City’s most severe crisis, with so many citizens mourning the innocents murdered by terrorists, there wasn’t much enthusiasm among our staff to proceed on schedule. Also, like so many other businesses disrupted by the surprise attack, our own infrastructure–phone lines, website, computers–was compromised to the extent that it would’ve been difficult to produce our most popular issue.
