  • << Prev / Next >>The First Trap (Hipster Trap)
    Urban Traps is a project where Hunter Fine and I lay traps for different subcultures in hopes of protecting neighborhoods from infestation and to collect different species for further study. Minutes after setting this trap in the East Village, a stranger took this pic and posted it online. By the next day, it had close to one million views.

    Bait: Pabst Blue Ribbon, neon sunglasses, American Spirit cigarettes, yellow fixed-gear bike chain

    Thank you nice people, and thanks to everyone who tweeted and shared the Hipster Traps online.
  • << Prev / Next >>First Bridge & Tunnel Trap
    For those particularly loud and offensive outer-borough-ers who treat the city like their own personal Chuck E. Cheese/ashtray/toilet, we set Bridge and Tunnel traps. This first one was left outside one of their favorite haunts, the Rivington Hotel in NYC's Lower East Side.

    Bait: Drakkar Noir, self tanner, gold necklace, Path train tickets, hair spiking gel,
    Long Island Railroad schedule
