#326 Listener Stories: At Home in New York Part One

Published: May 15, 2020, 7:24 p.m.

EPISODE 326 A special episode featuring the listeners of the Bowery Boys: New York City History podcast.\n\nWhat makes New York feel like home -- whether you live here or not? \n\nWhat is that indefinable connection that people make with the city? Why do so many people feel a city as large as New York speaks to them personally?\n\nWe asked our listeners to tell us about feeling \u201cat home in New York," about that feeling of familiarity and nostalgia that one can feel here. Thanks to the presence of New York City in so many films, books and television shows, it's an emotion that can be felt even by those who live elsewhere.\n\nWell the listeners delivered -- in a wonderful abundance of voicemails and emails. In this episode we hear from three groups of New York City lovers: the native New Yorkers, the commuters and the frequent visitors. (In part two, we'll hear the tales of the transplants, those who, in the words of E.B. White, "came to New York in quest of something.")\n\nboweryboyshistory.com\n\nSupport the show: https://www.patreon.com/boweryboys
