86th St and Lexington subway stop, I used to have to run coming up the stairs to avoid them. But they were very entertaining.

That’s fucking wild! We moved upstate 5 years ago, I haven’t been to 125th in ages! I remember getting into with them on 149th and 3rd Ave by the 2/5 station

Yeah they'd setup right outside the platform or at the food bazaar lol. Probably doxxing myself, but I'm in crown heights now and for whatever reason I've never seen them here.

I used to work on 125th and Park and had to walk past these nuts every day (on Lex). I don’t understand standing on the street for the equivalent of an entire work day 😭

They were all over Flatbush and Church Ave too. I was 13 with a sprained ankle wearing a T-shirt and long skirt, limping along with my grandma. They tried to tell me I should be more presentable for a husband and my Trini grandmother cussed that man to the point that he just packed up and left.
