NYC’s hottest pick-up spot is a brick wall in Brooklyn — here’s why
NY Post
Maybe putting up walls can be a good thing for a relationship.
Dating apps are so last decade, say the NYC singles of all ages lining up on weekends to have their photos posted on a wall in Brooklyn’s McCarren Park — in hopes of finding their next match.
“It’s just a much more exciting way to meet people,” Greenpoint resident Griffin McLaughlin, 24, told The Post.
Every Saturday and Sunday, from noon until 8:00 p.m., a brick wall located opposite the park’s tennis courts is transformed into New York City’s busiest pick-up spot, as romantic hopefuls log off and try their luck out in public.
To participate, you scan a QR code at the site and donate a suggested $25 to $60 — a higher price can also include a tarot card reading. For your money, you’ll have two Polaroid photos taken by local photographer Bob Greco, also known as “Picture Man Bob.”
One photo you take home; the other you stick on the wall, along with a colorful index card that includes some personal details — name, age, gender, what you’re looking for and words that describe you.
