Street surveys reveal all sorts of hilarious anecdotes—after all, strange things happen all the time in New York City. While some are planned (SantaCon), others are just random occurrences that happen right on the street. For our newest street survey, we asked eight people on the High Line to share their favorite quirky sight. You might also like

Our street survey says: “It was last weekend [at the Mermaid Parade]. We were just going to Coney Island for a day off and didn’t know that the parade was there. Suddenly we saw these ‘mermaids’ in all different sizes, all different genders, and we were like, ‘What the?’ [Laughs] We squeezed around the parade and went to the beach.”
