Mistletoe Hangs in Williamsburg

Photos by NYCScout's Flickr.

Williamsburg just got a little bit more adorable; the NYC Scout (who we interviewed last week) spotted some plastic mistletoe hanging above the stairs to the Bedford L stop. Will two down on their luck commuters find a love light at the end of the dark subway tunnel that is the holiday season? Stay tuned to the missed connections section of Craigslist where surely a real life romantic comedy will play out.

#11 - I am alright, smoking some mistletoe and enjoying eggnog with Mrs. Claus! Nothing brings me more joy than riling on hipsters and their shenanigans! I thought gentrification has eradicated them completely from Billyburg a year ago!?

It's Williamsburg...doesn't take much to impress a chick to sleep with you.

You say it like that's a bad thing?

Dude69, calm down and drink some eggnog or smoke some Christmas tree. It's a story about someone (no one knows if it was a hipster or not) that hung a sprig of fake mistletoe above an entrance/exit to the subway. If that truly ruined Christmas for you, then I suggest you do what a lot of people do at this time of year and off yourself because you are past the point of a Scrooge-like soul-saving.

more hipster nonsense

It's not mistletoe. It's your standard subway fungus, sculpted over time by the plumes of urine vapors into that shape.

You're so optimistic. I think this sort of scenario seems much more realistic.

Today, I found some hanging from two WALK/DONT WALK signs by the Astor Place cube. One of them I noticed had a sign pointing it out.
