Dating during the COVID-19 pandemic can be tough. But a New York City man, originally from Bethlehem Township, has it figured out, and the world took notice.

Jeremy Cohen used his drone to deliver his phone number to Tori Cignarella, a girl he saw dancing on the roof of a neighboring building.

"I looked out my window, because I was shooting this photo project and I saw Tori across the street dancing, and I was just attracted to this type of energy, she was just dancing, I don’t know, I just wanted to talk to her. So I went out on my balcony, because she was there like ten minutes later. I kind of waved to her, and she waved back, and we exchanged smiles. And yea, I wanted to get in touch with her so I wrote down my number on a piece of paper taped it on my drone ran on the roof and flew my drone across the street and landed it on her roof, and she got my number and texted me."
