Well, I heard about a coffee shop in NYC. One day, a customer accidentally walked into the wrong place thinking it was a library because it was so quiet. He sat down, took out a book, and only realized his mistake when he asked for a 'bookmark' instead of a coffee stirrer. Everyone in the shop had a good laugh.

The tourist was so shocked and then they both laughed about it.

Once, I saw a man on the NYC subway who was doing yoga poses in the middle of the crowded carriage. He was completely unfazed by the stares and just carried on with his downward dogs and tree poses. It was hilarious and also quite impressive how he managed to balance without falling over.

The old St. Mark's Church - in - the - Bowery has a long history and with it, some ghost stories. There are reports of strange lights and figures near the graveyard.

Some say they've seen the spirits of early settlers or clergy members who were associated with the church long ago.
