‘Portal’ between NYC and Dublin inspires strangers to flirt, connect and twerk across the miles

Sláinte to the singles!
A virtual portal connecting New York City and Dublin opened earlier this week has turned into a hotspot for strangers looking to make connections across the thousands of miles.
Streaming live throughout the summer at the busy junction of 5th Avenue, Broadway and 23rd Street in Manhattan, the scheduled cultural programming appears to have been preempted by a whole lot of flirting.
“My immediate thought was that this would be the perfect love story,” Ali Weber-Heavey, 25, told The Post on Friday.
She thought she would quickly pass by to check out the new portal on her way home from work, but found herself compelled to stick around — and size up the horde of Dublinites peering back at her.
“It really stopped me in my tracks. And, it was honestly a feeling I’ve never felt before,” she said.
