N.Y.C. Rats: They’re in the Park, on Your Block and Even at Your Table
Captioned: A playground at Joseph C. Sauer Park in Manhattan last month. There have been more than 21,000 rat sightings reported to 311 this year.
Brittany Brown and her friends were finishing an outdoor dinner in Chelsea recently when, from the corner of her eye, she thought she saw something move near the edge of their table.
Moments later, she thought she saw it again.
Then she made eye contact with a man sitting nearby, and he confirmed what worried her: A rat had been on the table.
“It’s gross and it’s kind of unnerving,” said Ms. Brown...
Yes, New York City is.
