Pokémania is running wild throughout New York, as players of the world's hottest video-game app go on scavenger hunts that include trespassing, office feuds and walking head-on into poles. The Pokémon Go game is even helping some city pizzerias roll in the dough as owners figure out ways to rig the game to draw in business.
"The amount of people has been astonishing," said Tom Lattanzio, the owner of L'inizio Pizza Bar in Long Island City, Queens. "All day long, from afternoon to evening this past weekend." L'inizio's manager, Sean Benedetti, says he paid $10 to have a dozen of the Pokémon characters lured to the store. It drew in so many players, the shop's business went up 75 percent.
