Cryptid Safari (2026)

While most New Yorkers stare at their phones oblivious to the world, a few of us observe. We see the traces of strange creatures everywhere: curious footprints in the parks, talon scratches on our cars, bite marks on discarded pizza, and oddly formed turds on the sidewalk. They hide in the shadows, lurk in the parks, burrow through our subway, slither through the Gowanus, and slink about our sewers. Some think they are just pigeons or rats. But we know better.

In the spring of 2026, we embarked on the Cryptid Safari, an expedition to find evidence of elusive NYC Cryptids in their natural habitat: Prospect Park. With our notebooks and cameras, we set out to scientifically verify NYC Cryptids exist, once and for all. So move aside Bigfoot, Chupacabra, Nessy, and Mothman – our Cryptids get much weirder. Our team of elite Cryptozoologists made monumental discoveries of at least 12 different species of Cryptid. The truth is out there! And now we have indisputable proof.
