Dr. Shapiro's Puzzle of the Day

Today's Puzzle

Monday, January 10
I visited a relative's house during winter break. She had the cloth bag seen at left.

"OK, what could the puzzle possibly be here?" you are thinking…

Please identify the CITY which this bag references in five ways, and the manner in which it does so. You may use the internet freely. Good luck! I will post the answer this evening.

Solution

OK, so the fifth New York reference is the fifth font, right? Wrong—the last "Brooklinen" is just the brand's regular logo! Rather, the fifth reference is the brand name itself… get it… Brooklyn-en??

Yeah, it took a while for that one to dawn on me, too. And I live in Brooklyn.

Congrats to solvers Ena, Lucia, Tori, Peter M., Peter V., and Graham!
