Zoo York is a style and social philosophy inspired by the New York City graffiti art subculture of the 1970s.

This tunnel, called the Zoo York Tunnel, or simply "Zoo York," was a haunt of very early "old school" graffiti writers who hung out with the hippies around the Central Park Bandshell in the late-1960s and 1970s.
