NEW YORKERS by MLow · A walkable sewer

LIVE FROM THE SEWERSHome of the Pizza Rat. You fall through a manhole on First Avenue and land at rat scale, where every human thing is colossal and the rats have built a city out of everything New York drops, flushes and forgets. 12 rooms, one trick in each, and the only people down here have an eye flower for a head.

12ROOMS0EASTER EGGS1870 TO TODAY0NEW YORKERS ON THE WALLS

Customs confiscates anything useful. Pizza Rat has a shrine on the First Avenue L stairs, and the stairs get longer every time you push the slice. The goldfish run a relocation agency called Upstate. An alligator pulled out of a sewer on East 123rd Street in February 1935 does two sets a night. There is a cathedral made of grease, a stock market in breakfast crumbs, lost property at the size it was lost at, Alfred Beach's secret 1870 air subway, a spa that runs on Con Ed steam, a rat council that has debated reopening City Hall station since 1945, a bodega cat that runs immigration, and a sewer king who rents his throne by the minute. Census New Yorkers by MLow hang on every wall, from the block above.

LIVE FROM THE SEWERS

12 rooms under New York, built by NEW YORKERS by MLow with the rats' permission. The facts are real: Pizza Rat on the First Avenue L stairs in September 2015, the alligator on East 123rd Street in February 1935, Beach Pneumatic in 1870, City Hall station from 1904 to 1945, Con Ed steam since 1882. Everything else is the rats talking.
