If you're in Sunset Perk Brooklyn today you can grab a neat bag from @nycvotes.bsky.social and some ice cream near the 53rd street R station and pledge to #vote! I especially love that the handles go the right way!

Bright orange NYC votes tote bag he'd up on the subway. It has a drawstring so that it can be folded up and the handles (not visible) are long enough to go over your shoulder and are attached so the bag will lay flat against your body, ie. The "right" way bag handles should go.

Unfortunately, this is a year-old advertisement on a train that was taken out of service last summer and only recently restored to service. It has the potential to mislead New Yorkers, and we’re in touch with our partners @mta.info to expedite the removal of this advertisement.
