    NYU, PLASTIC SURGEON ADVERTISE VERY DIFFERENT WAYS TO ‘DREAM BIG’

    Everyone in this Big Apple has dreams. NYU and plastic surgeons just have different methods of getting you there.

    Lisa Alpert took this photo of two ads on the 2 train on Thursday night. Rarely does anything in this world juxtapose quite so well.

    Lisa, who has a great eye for the fun and absurd, also snapped a photo of monks hanging out at a frozen yogurt shop last year.

    I saw this on the train yesterday. I thought that someone in the MTA advertising setup area must have done this on purpose.

    Both NYU and the doctor think bigger is better. I don’t and sorry to see the West Side Rag giving both parties ore exposure. (No pun intended.). I find the plastic surgeon’s ad distasteful and NYU’s big building boom even more revolting.
