Internet making woman who sits on newspaper boxes on Bleecker and the Bowery world famous

[Photo by Bobby Williams from last fall]

Gothamist has an item about that woman who you also see lying on newspaper boxes on Bleecker and the Bowery... Someone posted a photo of her on Reddit yesterday in a thread titled "This lady knocked down the newspaper stand so she can devour her pickle comfortably...only in New York." So far, people have left more than 1,100 comments.

Not sure how long that she has been doing this here outside Think Coffee. The Voice noted it last fall.

    I believe she also smokes Newports like a fiend. She seems harmless but can be a little surly.

    Do all these newspapers have to pay a fee for occupying public property? Just asking, don't really know.
