TaylorSwift 162,474 Posted September 5, 2023 Share Posted September 5, 2023 Rat tourism has become the latest must-experience trend in New York. As the city grapples with a major rat problem – sightings doubled last year, prompting the mayor to advertise for a “somewhat bloodthirsty” head rat-catcher in December – the rodent issue is, according to some, New York’s latest must-experience trend. As visitors to New York demand rat action, some of the city’s tour guides have started to add stops at notoriously infested sites, the New York Post reported this week. It means that rat tourism is fast becoming a boom industry. Kenny Bollwerk, who built a TikTok following by posting videos from around New York, stumbled upon being a rodent guide when he spent “an hour or two” live-streaming rats running around outside a building site in Sunnyside, Queens. “I was like: ‘Damn, this is bad,’” he said. “People are walking by, there’s rats running across people’s feet, there’s piles of trash on the sidewalk.” The response from his viewers was huge. Bollwerk said more than 10,000 people tuned in live to watch the rats. “Rats are like a New York City mascot,” said Bollwerk. “People want to see it for themselves.” “They are like the new celebs in New York City with all the press they are getting.” source source https://store.taylorswift.com Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
