Just a reminder that today is Improv Everywhere's annual No Pants Subway Ride, so if you are confused as to why someone has chosen to go pantless on a 30 degree day, this is most likely the reason. The ride starts at 3:00 p.m. sharp at six different meeting points, and please, no phones! Improv Everywhere writes, "Please leave your cameras at home and resist the temptation to snap photos with your iPhone, etc. while the event is happening....During the ride we really want people to enjoy the experience of participating rather than documenting."
If, however, you do manage to take some shots, send them to us at photos[at]gothamist[dot]com, or upload them to Flickr and tag them "gothamist." And please, stay warm!
