Exactly! Not sure how musical chairs is a transplant activity. It's a game that is played by kids and adults at parties. This is also a great opportunity for singles to meet other singles. I prefer this activity than people fighting and killing each other but that is just me.

Dude. It's played every day on the subway. Holy god. But of course 8:30 am on the 7 train, not self-aware enough for youtube.

I got to agree with BXGUYANESE. Nobody from here is going to mark their calendar and ride the train to bryant park to play musical chairs. That whole idea is suspect. Im sure theyll be a lot of funny looking tight pants wearing salvation army t-shirt wearing orange sunglasses people there.

It's a matter of why are adults trying to revive all of the kiddie games to play themselves? Kickball, dodgeball, musical chairs? It's called children's games for a reason, they are meant for children. There are plenty of other ways of having fun and still showing you are in touch with your inner child than trying to play kiddie games as if you were upset you never got to play it the first time around. If I want to feel like a kid again, I'll go to Great Adventure or to a water park.

But that's just my opinion.

The reason we say real New Yorkers won't do this and all of the transplants will, is because this type of event has transplant written all over it. Just like all of the kickball leagues in Williamsburg. It's like saying "Look at me! I refuse to get a real job and grow up!"

This actually sounds like a fun thing to watch.

I don't get why do people assume this is a hipster event though

Then I better not tell the family about it. We're hard-core Adult Musical Chairs players. No holds barred. Anything goes. It's actually very funny

But I think this is something to bring communities together and just have fun.

Not in my family. The kids play their version and the adults play theirs. It can be LOTS of fun providing you have the right people with the right sense of humor. Thank goodness I did not marry into a boring family lol
