Ahh, summer. With the beautiful weather, no doubt Fulton Ferry Park goers will be treated to the delights of "Thong Guy." Camped out with his backpack and various reading materials, he's clearly a regular at the park, as no one really bats an eye at his banana (yellow) hammock. They just post pictures to Flickr.
Brooklyn Heights Blog already featured the near-nude sunbather, as did CollegeHumor. With all that press, we're ready to make him the official icon of summer in New York. Who's with us?
