A private performance
This isn’t much of a strange sight (compared to other things we’ve seen by now, that is) but it’s an incredibly sweet one, and it’s another one of these things you can only see on the New York subway. Whatever he’s playing, it seems to be working, because the baby seems hypnotized by his music!
What seems to be most charming about this photo is that it break the norms of the subway – while most people go out of their ways to keep their personal space and avoid eye contact, or any form of contact, with other people, this photo demonstrates closeness and friendliness, and shows us a whole other side of New York.
