There will be a Heated Rivalry Look-Alike Contest in Washington Square Park on Sunday Feb 1 with a $50 cash prize!

From event organizers:

In a time when online dating prospects seem more dismal than ever, we have been forced to take extreme measures.

We will be hosting yet ANOTHER look-alike competition to find the best nyc local knockoff Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov to give the girls, the gays, and theys something to yearn for in 2026.

We see no better place to kickoff this year’s look alike contest season—and pay homage to inarguably the best hockey player power couple of all time—than the birthplace of the tradition itself…our very own Washington Square Park.

So prep those accents and get ready to pucker up…and please congregate around the fountain no later than 2 pm.

Thank you, and long live Hollanov 🇨🇦🇷🇺🫡
