In his video Man Carried 9.4 Miles by Strangers in NYC, Mark Malkoff attempts to disprove the myth that New Yorkers are unfriendly by getting strangers to carry him. He was kind enough to capture their efforts on video.

Here’s a new video entitled, “Man Carried 9.4 Miles by Strangers in NYC”. In it I set out to disprove the myth that New York is unfriendly by attempting to transport myself from the southern most end of Manhattan as far north possible only by having people on the street physically carry me along the way. I ended up being carried 9.4 miles from the entrance of the Staten Island Ferry to 141st St & Broadway by 155 different people. The footage is quite incredible!

–Thanks Mark
