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.

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.

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.
