New York City DOES Sleep (Around)

Apparently New York City actually does sleep, only it's with many people.

In the name of Valentine's Day, or "National Condom Awareness Day" as the creators are calling it, the New York City Health Department has created an app which makes it quick and easy to find free condoms around the city. The app, NYC Condom Finder, was released on Mon. and is a well-timed app for finding a distribution point nearby. NYC Condom Finder, which can be downloaded from the Android Market or Apple's iPhone App Store, uses GPS to pinpoint the user's location and generates a list of the nearest condom distribution venues and directions to get there.

Monica Sweeney, assistant commissioner for Bureau of HIV/AIDS Prevention and Control, has really emphasized that this app is perfect for Valentine's Day and that the agency doesn't "want not having access to be the barrier, but condoms to be the barrier." The agency says it's more convenient to have a mobile app to find the 3,000 distribution outposts throughout the city, despite already having a list of distribution spots that are on the city's website. "What we're doing is working to make New York City the safest city in the world to have sex," said Sweeney.

My thoughts: New York City is so damn crazy. I have GOT to visit!
