San Francisco Bay Times contributor Fernando Camino, who is based in New York City, created the YouTube channel SuperFriends NYC and regularly livestreams from midtown Manhattan and beyond. Camino’s account of his livestream on New Year’s Eve of the annual Ball Drop in Times Square remains among the most widely read of Bay Times features (https://tinyurl.com/yp6eju25).
So far in 2024 he has presented weekly Saturday night livecasts of the Midnight Moment in Times Square, walked across the Brooklyn Bridge and through Central Park during snow storms, and much more. Here are just a few of the NYC events he has spotlighted.
Cupid’s Undie Run New York
On Saturday, February 20, SuperFriends NYC presented live the 2024 Cupid’s Undie Run supporting those affected by neurofibromatosis (NF) through a benefit for the Make NF Visible Children’s Tumor Foundation. Camino interviewed top fundraiser Michael Morris Mason and other runners. https://tinyurl.com/3xfpswty

St. Pat’s for All
On Sunday, March 3, SuperFriends NYC presented a livecast of the St. Pat’s for All Parade’s 25th Anniversary. From the starting point at 43rd Street and Skillman Avenue and continuing through the Sunnyside and Woodside neighborhoods in Queens, parade organizers, participants, and spectators combined efforts to “turn Queens green.”
The St. Pat’s for All Parade is an annual event, established on March 5, 2000, that honors Irish culture and promotes inclusivity. The parade was initiated by Brendan Fay, a gay Irish immigrant, in response to the exclusion of LGBTQ+ groups like the Irish Lesbian and Gay Organization from the New York City St. Patrick’s Day Parade in Manhattan.
