An Adam Sandler Look Alike Contest Heads To NYC This July–& The Grand Prize Is A Happy Gilmore Hockey Putter & Bag Of Pickles

Grab your basketball shorts, oversized tee, and dad sneakers because Adam Sandler—a true national treasure (and let’s be real, basically NYC royalty at this point)—is the star of the city’s latest and greatest search for celebrity doppelgängers. That’s right: NYC’s first-ever Adam Sandler look-alike contest is about to hit the streets —or, more accurately, the courts—this July! You’ve probably already spotted the flyers plastered around the city (because obviously, that’s how all legendary look-alike contests begin). But if not, don’t panic–we’ve got all the deets. Anyone blessed with a goofy, laid-back, childlike spirit and that lovable “regular guy” aura (and yes, we mean that as the ultimate compliment) is invited to SoHo to channel their inner Sandman. Think: Billy Madison, Bobby Boucher, Happy Gilmore...even Opera Man. Or hey, just show up rocking that signature “didn’t even try, still nailed it” fit. Contestants will be judged on vibes, voice, and vintage Sandler energy, competing for a chance to snag: * A *Happy Gilmore* hockey putter * A bag of pickles * The honor of being crowned NYC’s Sandman Supreme The contest goes down at the iconic Vesuvio Playground–the very same court where Sandler and Timothée Chalamet famously played pickup– and just so happens to coincide with the drop of *Happy Gilmore 2.* Truly, an iconic way to celebrate the occasion! People are already buzzing about the thought of being surrounded by Sandler doppelgängers, with the event’s Partiful already showing 59 RSVPs and counting. Best case scenario: Sandler himself pulls a Chalamet and crashes the event 🤞. Worst case scenario: we have a repeat of the Pedro Pascal look alike contest where the winner literally looked like Pascal himself dressed in a disguise. Either way we’re not complaining; it’s free, ridiculous, and a fabulous way to spend your Friday. 📍 Vesuvio Playground – 101 Thompson St. 🗓 Friday, July 25th Source: https://secretnyc.co/adam-sandler-look-alike-contest-nyc/
