We sent these mini New Yorkers on a blind (play)date in the city...let's find out if they became new BFFs!
The Playdate: Rocket Park Mini Golf at the New York Hall of Science, 47-01 111th St Queens (212-699-nysci.org)
Favorite thing about NYC:
Louie: “It’s not like in the country, where you need to drive in the car for an hour. We usually walk, which means you don’t ever get carsick!”
Vincent: “There’s a pool in my neighborhood. And there’s a McDonald’s. I like to get French fries."
First Impression:
Louie: “I liked his voice, I don’t know why. And I thought it’d be cool to have a friend with glasses.”
Vincent: “We’re both boys, and we’re both big brothers. I think we can be friends even though he’s a little older.”
Best Part:
Louie: “My favorite part of mini golf is the hole where you make the rocket go up, and when you do it, it says ‘mission accomplished.’”
Vincent: “The second hole, because if you win, the rocket moves. I also like the ninth hole, because you can get your ball back."
Friend Potential:
Louie: “He had a Minecraft shirt on, and I have one too, but he says he doesn’t know how to play, so maybe I can teach him.”
Vincent: “I want to bring him to the Children’s Museum of Manhattan, where there’s a play river with little animals in it.”
