Meir Kay is an
internet and YouTube personality who is all about spreading positivity. He’s
made many videos that emphasize the importance of being happy and being kind to
others, and those videos have more than 350 million views on YouTube.
One of his most popular is called
“High Five New York,” where he spends time giving a high five to people who
stick out their hands to hail a taxi in New York City. Some of his videos are
serious, some funny and some are inspiring. But there is one that went viral,
and it highlighted something that first happened during the Super Bowl in 2017,
and then was repeated during Super Bowl 2018 and 2019.
The first of these videos showed the
stops Meir Kay made in his hometown of New York City on Super Bowl Sunday,
2017.
First, he went to a sporting goods
store, where he purchased some New England Patriots jerseys.
Second, he stopped to order food,
especially chicken wings.
Third and most important, he went
around his neighborhood and invited five homeless men to the party he was
hosting for the big game at a rooftop bar on Fifth Avenue.
Kay says he was first inspired to do
this when he spotted a homeless man on the street holding a sign that asked not
for money or food or drink; it said he felt invisible and wanted someone to
talk to.
