Sleepers: NYC (8th Avenue at 3:21 p.m.)

Visit: www.sleepersnyc.com. Sleepers: New York City is an art project by photo documentarist Marko Vuorinen comprising videos and photography of public sleeping in New York City.

This video portrait stars a seemingly homeless man sleeping on the steps of New York City's main post office at 421 Eighth Avenue, across from Penn Station and Madison Square Garden. Not too many years ago, it was prohibited to sit on the steps. Now they are a popular hang out location for city dwellers, homeless and tourists.
