The Bing Bong video
2021
Mermaid Avenue and West 16th Street, Coney Island, Brooklyn
Sidetalk, a one minute street interview series made by two NYU film students, shot its Coney Island Ski Club episode on Mermaid Avenue in September 2021 with the Coney Island rapper Nems hosting. Everyone in it signed off with the sound the MTA plays when the subway doors close. Bing bong. The episode did about two and a half million views, then a repost that October pulled close to twenty million plays in six weeks, and within months the phrase had reached Knicks games, a Lil Nas X video, the White House, and two write in votes for mayor of New York.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
