It's that time of year again... time to take those pants off, get on the crowded subway, and make some awkward straight-faced eye contact with the fully clothed straphangers. The No Pants Subway Ride returns this Sunday! If you want to take part in the 10th annual ride (hosted by Improv Everywhere), there will be six meet-up locations (get details on where right here)—and if you want to avoid the event, we suggest being in your safe place by 3 p.m. on Sunday.
For spectators, send us your photos or tag them "Gothamist" on Flickr—and stay tuned for the No Underwear Ride later this year ;)
