This is as close as we’ll get to a New York City Marathon special this year on the show. Not bad though. In association with my friend Jerry Cahill, host of the Cystic Fibrosis Podcast, I covered the Team Boomer post marathon fund raiser.

The event was held at a very nice Irish Pub called Mr. Dennehy’s. The pub is located at 63 Carmine St. near 7th Avenue South.

And yes I did interview one actual runner in the marathon. I also talk with Jerry about Team Boomer and mix with some locals who talk about their experiences around town.

This episode also includes a promo for an upcoming show by my pal Brother Love.

New York Minute #56

Rob Safuto — Sun, 02 Jul 2006 17:41:05 +0000

I think I’m becoming addicted to soundseeing tours. What can I say? I love getting out amongst the good people of the New York area.

This episode has me hanging with my pal Brother Love at Liberty Jam 2006. This was an all day concert event to raise money for and awareness about Liberty State Park in Jersey City, NJ. Liberty State Park is just a stones throw from Lower Manhattan and is very close to Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty.

The event featured a fun day of eclectic music including The Smithereens, Los Lobos, Patti Smith, George Clinton and headliners Cheap Trick.

Check out a photo set from the day here. And a video will be forthcoming as well.

New York Minute #55

Rob Safuto — Sat, 24 Jun 2006 15:48:54 +0000

A soundseeing tour of the Hoboken, NJ Waterfront this week on the show. Hoboken, nicknamed the Mile Square City, is the birthplace of Frank Sinatra and sits directly across from Greenwich Village and Chelsea on the Hudson River.

The PATH trains provide easy access to Hoboken from Manhattan. Once in Hoboken you can enjoy a park directly on the Hudson River with views of the river from New York Harbor up to the George Washington Bridge. You can follow a path north along the river to the Frank Sinatra Cafe and a skate park at the north end of the path which is about a mile from the train station.

I also talk about a couple of options for summer movies outdoors in New York City. On Monday nights in the summer you can enjoy free movies in Bryant Park at Sunset. You can also see indie films on rooftops courtesy of Rooftop Films.

A great soundseeing tour this week. New York based personal chef Mark Tafoya joins me for a walk through the Chelsea Market at 9th Avenue and 15th Street. Lots happening at Chelsea Market. Wine, bread, gelato, great bakeries, fruits and vegetables, plus the Food Network and much more. Why not join us for a fun walk through the market? This one is nearly an hour long but well worth the time invested. Don’t forget to check out Mark and his chef friends over at the Culinary Podcast Network.

As promised last week, here’s the last show of 2005. It’s a soundseeing tour of an interactive Off Broadway show called Tony and Tina’s Wedding. Tony and Tina’s Wedding is one of the longest running shows in the city and it’s like nothing you’ve ever experienced at the theatre. Join a real cast of Italian-American characters as they celebrate the wedding of Tony and Tina. The show includes a ceremony and reception with a buffet meal, champagne and wedding cake. There’s a live band an everyone is invited to join in the fun on the dance floor. You’ll laugh, you’ll dance and you don’t have to bring a gift. Listen in on the event as we bring you interviews with the cast, er…members of the wedding party, candid quotes from audience members and lots of audio of the festivities at the catering hall located in the Edison Hotel on West 46th Street in the theatre district of Manhattan. There’s more than audio for you to enjoy though. Check out the Flickr photo set and video podcast (coming soon!)

It’s a soundseeing podcast once again this week as Darren Levy of the Citywide radio show and podcast guides me around the area near New York University in New York City. We’re calling it a back to school show.

Are you ready for some NFL football? We’re soundseeing this week from the New York Jets pre-season opener vs. the Detroit Lions. I bring my wife and daughter along as we catch the action from our seats on the fifty yard line (a very good view!) at Giants Stadium in East Rutherford, NJ. Yes, the New York Jets play in New Jersey and they play in a stadium named after the other New York team. It’s a long story, but I give you the background while we watch the game. You’re learn a lot about the Jets, how to get tickets, how to get out to the stadium and most importantly, catch all the fun sounds from the game. A big thanks to The Boomer Esiason Foundation for supplying me with tickets to the event. Enjoy!

It’s a soundseeing tour of Yankee Stadium this week as I head up to the Bronx to catch the Mets take on the Yankees in the unfriendly confines of Yankee Stadium. Dan “Does New York”, a die hard Yankees fan makes the trip along with me as do his friends Jada (from Mississippi) and Kristen (from Michigan). This is a rather long show, but I did my best editing because the games are two and a half hours long. You will have to listen in to hear how the game turned out and also to find out what international tourists made the trip and sat behind us at the game. Grab a beer and sit back as I take YOU out to the ballgame.

Once again we’re going mobile on the New York Minute with a frozen and slushy soundseeing tour of downtown Manhattan. Your host walks you from the West Village across Greenwich Village, Noho and finally to the East Village.
