Just as you grasp what’s going on, the video cuts to something just as nuts. Take, for example, the 5-second clip of a man in a hard hat and sweatpants holding two dogs and urging Ariana Grande to visit Coney Island.

Sidetalk captures a gritty and uninhibited side of the city. Since Sidetalk’s first YouTube video in October 2019, the duo has reliably uploaded minute-long dispatches from the wild sidewalks of New York and amassed over 370,000 YouTube subscribers, a million Instagram followers, and 2.8 million TikTok followers.
Created by a pair of NYU film students named Jack Byrne and Trent Simonian, the channel opens each video with the “bing bong” sound of subway doors closing. The spirit of New York - That utterance is a nod to Sidetalk, the social media channel that calls itself “New York’s one-minute street show,” which recorded and posted the original video. Amid the euphoric chaos, a camera captures the berserk fans’ quotes, like “we have de Blasio, we have Cuomo, it was rough shit, but we have the Knicks!” At one point, the video cuts from a joyful fan releasing a guttural squawk to another crowd member who delivers the golden words: “ Bing bong!” But what does it mean? - The catchphrase comes from a viral video shot October 20 outside of Madison Square Garden in which a raucous crowd of screaming fans celebrates the Knicks beating the Celtics in double-overtime.
