A virtual portal connecting New York to Dublin, which closed due to inappropriate behavior, has relocated to Philadelphia. The new portal in Love Park connects Philadelphia to Dublin, Vilnius, and Lublin, with plans for Brazil. Social media users noted the irony of the move to Philadelphia, known for its passionate sports fans. The portal has already seen notable interactions, including performances and global support for Philadelphia sports teams. The city’s 2026 Director sees the portal as a way to welcome the world ahead of major events in 2026.
