EPISODE 318 Moonstruck, the 1987 comedy starring Cher and Nicolas Cage, not only celebrates that crazy little thing called love, but also pays tribute to the Italian working class residents of the old "South Brooklyn" neighborhoods of Brooklyn Heights, Cobble Hill and Carroll Gardens.\n\nListen in as Greg and Tom recap the story and explore the many real New York City settings of the film -- from the glamorous Lincoln Center to the still-gritty streets of 1980s Little Italy.\n\nWhile the film's most recognizable location (the townhouse on Cranberry Street) is still with us, other places like the Cammareri Bros. Bakery are no longer with in business.\xa0\n\nThis podcast can be enjoyed both by those who have seen the film and those who\u2019ve never even heard of it. \xa0\n\nWe think our take on Moonstruck might inspire you to look for the film\u2019s many fascinating (but easy to overlook) historical details, so if you don\u2019t mind being spoiled on the plot, give it a listen first, then watch the movie! Otherwise, come back to the show after you\u2019ve watched it.\n\nAlso: Announcing the Bowery Boys "Safe At Home" Listener Challenge\n\nTake part in a future Bowery Boys: New York City History podcast!
