Once upon a time, in the city of New York...

A real-life romantic fairytale came out of New York last week when New Yorkers helped (yes, completely against their nature, they actually helped) a man reunite with a mystery woman he fell in love with at first sight on the subway.

It's almost hard to believe, but Patrick Moberg, 21, constructed a Web site called NYGirlOfMyDreams.com, where he described the encounter both pictorially and literatim--everything from the way her hair was done (fancy braided hair, flower in the back) to her blue shorts with tights underneath. Moherg listed his cell phone number and e-mail address on the Web and encouraged anyone fitting the description to contact him.
On Tuesday, a friend of the girl who had come across the site contacted the modern day romeo and sent a picture of Camille Hayton, an Australia native who interns at BlackBook in NYC.

The two are meeting up and though Moberg is "pulling the shuters on his love life" and declining to update the Web site, we'll just pretend they live happily ever after (and hope for Camille's sake he's not some psycopath cannibal).
