Rao’s is a famous Italian-American restaurant founded in 1896 and located in
New York City. More info at

In late November 2024, Rao’s
had its first-ever float at the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, a New York City
popular commercial event. When announcing this premiere, news outlets
illustrated the prospective float with a cartoon-like sketch (I got it from CNN,
second-hand via Colbert -see

at timestamp 8′30″). It features a dragon-slaying knight, mounted and in full
armour (embodying the pun "Pasta Knight"), and holding a white rectangular flag
with the restaurant’s wordmark

which consists of the name "Rao’s", properly spelled with an actual apostrophe,
set in bold serif capitals (seems to be ITC Century Std Bold Condensed
typeface), and topped with a superscripted, sans serif "®". This design may or
may not be the actual flag of the restaurant, and may or may not have been used
in its Macy’s parade float.
