A New York Bench

This page is the same for everyone. If somebody is sitting here, you'll see them. If you drag the cat across the sidewalk, they'll see it move. Turn on the lamp and night falls for the whole block. Sit a while.

The bench is off the grid right now β€” you're sitting alone. Refresh to retry.

Notes left on the bench

Like initials carved in the wood β€” whatever you write stays here for the next person, publicly, until the bench fills up (the oldest carvings fade first).

Missed connections

Taped to the lamppost, a few steps down from the bench. Nobody sitting here wrote these. They come off Craigslist New York several times a day, and only the ones that happened on a train or in a park go up.
