Oh, here's SFW video documenting an area dominatrix's ordinary afternoon in McCarren Park with her slave, who wears a leash and curls up at her feet to serve as an ottoman for her aching gams. When that grows tiresome, she commands him to clean her boots and slaps him around a little bit—you know the drill. You'll be relieved to see that the gentleman in question is NOT New York Representative Anthony Weiner, ha ha. And you'll also enjoy the expression of red T-shirted gentleman sitting to their right, as well as the completely blase expressions on the faces of all the the REAL New Yorkers on the left.
We've reached out to the Parks Department to verify that this doesn't violate any park regulations, but we've inexplicably not heard back yet! But Geoffrey Croft at NYC Parks Advocates tells us, "Recreation takes the form of many activities in our park system. In this heat I just hope the participants were properly hydrated."
