We’re two days into NYC’s Snapchat-Spectacle-ification… so the big question is, what do NYers think? …and more specifically, what do the SecretNYCers think? Make your voice heard at the bottom of this post. Until you get there check out the vibe on twitter:
Some New Yorkers are offering words of wisdom:
Advice for buying @Spectacles: Arrive early, dress warm, be prepared to wait for hours, make friends in line, and add them on @Snapchat.

Some couldn’t contain their excitement:
I need to score a pair of Snapchat Spectacles! What’s the scoop?
— Michele Weisman (@ottogrl) November 22, 2016
This dude couldn’t wait to “snap” the city:

Step 1, complain about the wait. Step 2, wait anyway:
@JSovs @Spectacles @Snapchat 4 hour wait in nyc ? but got mine

Haters gonna hate:
@JSovs @Spectacles @Snapchat they’re plastic garbage. 10 second video limit. No pics. Way better cam glasses on amazon

Some NYers seem to have a problem with impulse control:
ok sry everyone but I’m boutta spend $130 on snapchat spectacles bc I rly want them
— Bennett (@HeyitsBennett) November 21, 2016
That’ll teach them:
If I see anyone wearing the Snapchat Spectacles, I will laugh at them as obnoxiously as possible. Snap this, mofos.

Surprised fake @Spectacles that DON’T connect to Snapchat haven’t flooded the market yet
— Raymond Wong ??? (@raywongy) November 22, 2016
A Snapchat black-market is growing:
