Mayor Zohran Mamdani is rolling out a $250,000 anti-catcalling ad campaign across Big Apple subways, ferries, and construction sites in an effort to crack down on sleazy street harassment. The pricey push to curb unwanted wolf whistles and jeers kicks off Wednesday and runs through April – Sexual Violence Awareness Month – with a dozen flashy posters and digital ads in English and Spanish set to appear in some of the busiest spots across the five boroughs, city officials announced. The animated ads, featuring phrases like “hey sexy” and “hey baby,” will blast across subways roughly 12 million times and more than 15 million times on the Staten Island Ferry, with sidewalk decals at 150 locations and posters near 75 construction zones.
