New York is a popular place to propose. Walking through Central Park, it\u2019s not uncommon to see a man down on one knee, especially nearby the Strawberry Fields memorial. Fitting I guess as the word imagine imprinted into the mosaic is there to remind us of the possibility of a better world.<\/p>\n
Central Park isn\u2019t the only place to propose. You could \u2013 if your skills are up to it \u2013 produce a ring at the ice rink at the Rockefeller Center. That\u2019s a popular one. Or if you\u2019re a Yankees fan for $100 you can get your message on the big screen. The historic rollercoaster otherwise known as the Coney Island Cyclone is another popular location.<\/p>\n

Clich\u00e9d perhaps, but not the most Clich\u00e9d. You could do it at the stroke of midnight on New Year\u2019s Eve, whilst in a horse and buggy riding through Central Park. Or at the top of the Empire State Building, or at the love statue in mid-town.<\/p>\n
There are countless clich\u00e9d ways to do it, but New York is also home to an imaginative few who\u2019ve found some unique and creative ways to get their message across. Recently on a housesit in New York I was walking through the Tribeca district on a sunny Sunday morning when I came across this message, spray-painted onto the wall.<\/p>\n
\u201cMarry Me Hope\u201d.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s been done before, yes, but it makes for a much better photo than a message on the scoreboard at a football stadium. So I took a photo and vowed to look it up when I got home. Of course, as soon as I got home I completely forgot about it. Until now that is.<\/p>\n
I don\u2019t know who Hope is but seeing as I\u2019ve had this photo sitting on my camera for a few months I\u2019d be curious to know if she said yes. I\u2019ve searched high and low online and although I can find one or two people who\u2019ve taken the same picture as me, I can\u2019t find any information about Hope or her suitor. If anyone has any information, or even if they\u2019ve just taken the same picture as me, I would love to hear more.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
