Sylvester & Polednak

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At midnight, as Sylvester & Polednak’s neon sign flickered, a delivery driver noticed something odd. Every Thursday night, an envelope with no return address slipped under the door of the empty office next door. Curious, the delivery driver picked up the envelope and found inside a note scribbled in pencil: ‘Please deliver this to Mr. Polednak—stat!’ The next week, another envelope appeared, and another, until finally, on a Friday evening, a neighbor knocked on their door laughing: “Guys, you’ve been sending your own messages for months!”

2. One night, after closing hours, Sylvester & Polednak’s receptionist heard a strange noise from the hallway. Peering out curiously, she saw a small dog sniffing around the empty offices, its tail wagging with unexplained enthusiasm. As she approached, the little dog looked up and wagged even harder, as if recognizing her. Turns out, it was just a friendly neighborhood mutt who’d been left behind during a late-night delivery. The next day, Sylvester joked that maybe they should hire a canine receptionist—until he realized his secretary had developed quite an affection for the furry intruder.

3. Late one afternoon, while Sylvester & Polednak were deep in discussion, their office door mysteriously opened, revealing only empty air. Curious, they looked around but saw no one. Just as they shrugged it off, a package slid under their door—an envelope marked ‘urgent’ and addressed to neither partner. Inside was a note reading: “Next time lock your door!” Signed anonymously, of course.

4. In the dead of night, when Sylvester & Polednak's empty offices lay quiet, an intern whispered, 'Did you hear that?' Another intern nodded solemnly. ‘Someone’s tapping on the window,’ they said. They both jumped as a pizza box fell from above with a thud. A voice echoed down: “Late delivery for Sylvester and Polednak—better sign for tomorrow.”
