Gramercy Park is the only private park in Manhattan, and one of two private parks in all of New York City (the other is in Queens). Only the residents who live in the VERY expensive surrounding border streets are allowed to have a key, and only those with a key can gain access into the park. In this short clip from a recent episode of Comedy Central's Broad City, watch as Abbi and Ilana try to get access into the park, but are thwarted by a "Gramercy Park Douchebag."

Abbi and Ilana encounter a wealthy man choking on a sandwich in a gated Park.

This great vintage photograph from around 1920 shows a young well-dressed daredevil balancing precariously on top of a stack of chairs 20 stories up on the rooftop of a New York City skyscraper.

Earlier this year, the MTA announced a new cashless tolling system for New York City bridges and tunnels. Not long after, these mysterious metal towers started showing up near the entrances. According to CBS News, the project cost $100M, yet the MTA is being very secretive about what they actually do.

t’s a $100 million MTA project shrouded in secrecy, with 18 of them for tunnels and bridges. So what are they exactly? The MTA’s man in charge of the bridges and tunnels, Cedrick Fulton, dodged Carlin’s questions Wednesday. “I said no comment,” he said. Some MTA board members, including New York City Transportation Commissioner Polly Trottenberg, say they know too little about the towers – even with half the money already spent and some of the towers already up.

Many people seem to think that they include an array of advanced tracking cameras, capable of knowing who is entering and exiting the bridge or tunnel in real time, for security purposes. What do you think?
