At least one person seemed fine with adding a little whimsy to the subway. Just the one though, for the most part.

In a city where any given subway ride might turn into a mariachi concert, or a breakdancing "showtime," or any number of impromptu performances, it seems like ping pong is where New Yorkers truly draw the line.
