What's it like to be on a poster displayed all around NYC?
That's what we asked Marti Gould Cummings in this edition of #WhatsGoodNYC, where the renowned NYC-based drag artist shares what makes our city great.
The backstory here: Marti appears on one of our #FoundedByNYC bus shelter posters celebrating the various social movements that have either started in NYC or were given a unique spin here. When we heard through the grapevine that they were amused by reactions from friends, we knew we needed to drag Marti out to a nearby bus stop for this interview.

The poster to their right reads, "Founded By NYC: What Starts in NYC Shapes the World." Marti, who's not in drag in the video, points to a photo of themselves on the poster in which they're in drag emerging from a NYC taxi cab.
