It’s an ANZAC Day party on New York Minute. I’m a guest of the NY Magpies, an Australian rules football squad based right here in New York City. I was privileged to be able to attend their annual barbecue and party at Pier 63 on the west side of Manhattan. Plenty of great info in this ‘cast on the Aussie/Kiwi community in NY and a few other surprises as well. Also, don’t miss the Video Extra for this episode.
