You never know what you might see in New York. Some years ago, my family and I visited the city for a weekend. It was on this trip that we first encountered The Chicken Man. He was dancing around in a women’s one-piece swimsuit and a large mascot bird head (hence the name), waving around a plastic reindeer on a stick. The man was quickly registered in the Giuntini hall of fame, and to this day, he remains the most unusual individual I have seen in New York.
