^{THE  POST BOX ON 26TH ST & 8TH AVE} 

FEBRUARY 8 2023




This box is located on the northwest corner of 26th street and 8th ave. Its covered in graffiti and stickers, pretty unremarkable, collection time is at 2:00pm.


This postbox came into my life because I was a day late shipping out a birthday card for one of my best friends. This past week I was freelancing at a photo studio in Chelsea so I figured I’d look for a post box on my 15 minute walk from my train to the studio.

I got off the train and went up 8th Ave, && boom there’s a box. I cross the street past a family of German tourists and put my letter in. I felt around to make sure the letter went in because something felt jammed. The letter was gone but there was a,,,, texture and stickyness on the letter slot. It was gross and comically expected. 

The next day I’m shooting in the same studio so on my way to work  decide to I check out the post box again. I don’t know what I was expecting to find, but it was still there the next day, same stickers and graffiti. But 5 days later my card did not arrive in time for my friend’s birthday. I’m not saying its this box’s FAULT the letter didn’t arrive in time but, on top of being kinda gross it also only has collection times at 2:00pm.... Most boxes have at least 2 collection times, I wil be opting for one of those in the future. 

Accessibility: Very accessible if you live in NYC, This box is two blocks from the north most exit of the 23rd st AC stop

Would I recommend: I would not recommend this box, even the graffiti is boring.  It’s kinda sticky and it didn’t even get the letter to my friend on time - I have beef with this box. I will not use it again.


Who should you enjoy this with: Nobody, I didn’t enjoy this box and I feel you’d be pressed to find someone who does.
