Passersby stopped to record and share their stories of falling in love on video inside the eye-catching Love Truck, which was stationed across from Bryant Park on 6th Ave between 41st and 42nd Streets. While there, they sampled Bermuda's unique island culture and signed-up for the chance to win a four-night vacation to the island's Tuckers Point Hotel and Spa.  In addition, visitors to the Love Truck were provided with information touting the island's signature pink sand beaches and world-class golfing while posing for pictures in front of one of Bermuda's signature Pink motor scooters.
