For the holidays I want to disprove to the world the myth that New Yorkers are unfriendly. I’m going to do that by transporting myself from the southernmost end of Manhattan roughly 13.57 miles to the very most northern end of the island by only  having people in New York physically carry me the entire way. I’m guessing it’ll take a day and a half.

Date: Today Friday December 18, 2009
Start: 7:30am outside the entrance to the Staten Island Ferry
Route: We will be going up Broadway
Finish: tdb  The top of Manhattan by Broadway Bridge near 220^st & Broadway

I desperately NEED everyone’s help. Please spread the word to your friends in NYC and tell them to carry me! Individuals can carry me two feet or two blocks. I’ll take anything. Luckily I only weigh 130 pounds. For people that can’t carry me by themselves, please bring your friends and you can all carry me together.

To find my exact location this coming Friday there are two ways:
1. check my Twitter @mmalkoff
2. Starting this morning call the “Mark Gets Carried in NYC “hotline at (646)308-1262 and ask for me

Thanks in advance for everyone’s help. Let’s show the world that New York is the greatest city in the world!

This Sunday I’ll be on Fox News in the morning on “Fox & Friends Weekend” talking about Keys to the City. Please check in!

I want to go on record saying Trenton, NJ Mayor Douglas H. Palmer is the man. Not only did he present me key number 95, but he got Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter on the phone with me. Mayor Nutter told me he would be happy to give me the key to Philadelphia which caused me to freak out. I’m not exaggerating. So excited!
