re: NYC kids prank the city by making a fake steakhouse and bringing it to life for one night

The restaurant never existed. They would upload photos of their dishes online listed from a place called Mehran's Steakhouse (never existed.)

I mean yeh, I got it. But it was a restaurant. These people made reservations for opening night at Mehran's Steakhouse. Every restaurant in history "never existed" before their opening night.

I'd be willing to bet a pretty penny that Mehran's Steakhouse isn't going away. But even if it does, still doesn't seem like a prank to me. It's cool, think it's a neat story. But these people made reservations to get a steak dinner at a real restaurant and....that's exactly what happened.

I dunno, I could be wrong - just seems more like a marketing campaign than a prank.
