I was walking around Battery Park today when I saw The Man In Orange:

Orange 1

Look closely – not only orange hat and orange coat, but matching orange suit and shoes. AND MATCHING SHOES. Where do you buy this kind of thing???

Orange 0

The best part was watching the reactions from park-goers, like this woman…

Orange 2

…and this guy (note shoes)…

Orange 5

…and these guys…

Orange 4

I felt like I had walked into a David Lynch movie…or a 70’s baxploitation film. Any ideas on who the mysterious Man In Orange really is?

    He runs an escort service and the girls will kill to work for him, obviously.

    When historic opinions and guidelines of life are taken away, the loss cannot probably be approximated. From that minute we have no compass to govern us, nor can we know distinctly to what port to steer.

    You New Yorkers are not hip to Elijah yet – because he lives in Jersey City (where he garners the same sort of gawking attention.) I wrote about him here, which explains not really anything about his true character:

    My girlfriend and I saw this guy crossing the Brooklyn Bridge in Xmas 2013. Can’t believe he’s being doing this since 2009!! We totally regret not taking a picture.

    this guy works in a law office and lives in Jersey City – we see him all the time and he HATES getting his picture taken. That said – he has the best outfits – he’s always dressed head to toe in matching color schemes. white with black dots is my fave.

    I used to see that guy all the time on the path train. He gets off at Journal Square. I usually only see him in the warmer months.
