A pair of live, 10-foot high, 30-inch round mistletoe was hung for two days (December 12-13) in the pedestrian plaza at 23rd Street and 5th Avenue near the Flatiron building. The event was a promotion for FindYourFaceMate.com, a dating site that uses facial recognition technology to help members find a mate. Kissing was encouraged under the mistletoe. For every kiss under the mistletoe, FindYourFaceMate.com will donate $1 to Operation Smile, an international charity that provides free reconstructive surgery for children with facial deformities such as cleft lip and cleft palate.
