Take a hike, Pizza Rat — New York City's latest rat sensation is the Henny Rat.
SNY anchor Chris Williamson was walking down a Brooklyn street on February 14 when he spotted the unusual sight of a rat that appeared to have been 'passed out' on the sidewalk while clutching an empty bottle of Hennessy, he told NBC New York.
Williamson preserved the image and posted it on Twitter for posterity, alongside the caption, 'Just another day in New York City.'

The tweet quickly went viral as social media users hurried to add their snarky takes on the prone rat and empty liquor bottle image.
'must've had a hell of a night,' tweeted @JasmineLWatkins, to which Williamson joked in response, 'He/she was drinking away the pain from the Knicks’ 18th straight loss.'
'The king of New York...heavy is the crown,' @robkcostello tweeted.
