A New York content creator has found a novel way to plan out his adventures in the city.<\/p>\n
On his account, 5HourUpload, Alan Shen posts videos where he launches a dart at a map of New York City. He then explores the neighborhood where the dart landed.<\/p>\n
Shen joined NY1 anchor Shannan Ferry on “News All Day” to discuss the people he has met while exploring the city.<\/p>\n
“People are happy to share information about their neighborhood,” Shen said.<\/p>\n
Shen’s travels have taken him to Starrett City, Floyd Bennett Field, and other unique locations around the city. He spoke about the impact he hopes his videos are having.<\/p>\n
“There were comments from non-New Yorkers saying they didn’t know that New York wasn’t all tall buildings and a concrete jungle,” Shen added. “They were saying that my videos were humanizing New York.”<\/p>\n
