Tales of New York
The long-standing rivalry between Boston and New York. Is baseball to blame?
Boston and New York, both world class cities in the northeastern United States, enjoy a rivalry that by some accounts predates the American Revolution. We hear why the rivalry is most apparent on the baseball diamond when the New York Yankees take on the Boston Red Sox.
In this special New York edition of Boston Calling weβll also meet the man who makes those souvenir βLady of Libertyβ statues that are so common in New York tourist shops. Weβll also find out how creative some Muslim taxi drivers in New York can get when they hear the call to prayer. Also, Persian comfort food thatβs being cooked up in the corner of a New York pizza parlourβ¦ and a classic Peruvian cocktail wins over a food writer from Queens.
