Every day, we post a one
minute guide to one great thing happening today in New York City. We list doings
that are inexpensive or completely free, social and 100% unique to New York.
Designed for the curious local or savvy tourist, we aim to expose the eccentric
and obvious all over NYC. Check back every morning to crack open a new nutshell
That is quite the
fancy title for what this event really is: An arm wrestling tourney at the bus
station. Beyond that, this is likely the most entertaining spectator event
happening in NYC today.
Dozens of competitors
will head to the Port Authority to match up in the…well, we don’t even know
what clever nickname an arm wrestling venue has. All joking aside, this is some
serious business for people with serious forearms. If you’ve got the
muscle and $25, you can enter the completion. Winners in each weight class (who
knew?) gets a few hundred in cash and a “Custom 4 inch ½ Pound medallion”
honoring their stellar achievement. You can put it right next to your Nobel
Peace Prize.
However, if your arms
look more like sippy straws than giant PVC pipes, your better bet is to watch
all the action from the sidelines. You might even get to meet Arm Wrestling
Superstar Joyce “New York’s Most Feared Bicep” Boone. Action starts today at
1:00 Pm and is all sponsored by the New York State Arm Wrestling Association,
White Castle and SuperCuts. Really.
