walked in. He waltzed into the room. And of course
the Scottie Bees in the house. So I got a
call here from Fort Myers. Bob from Fort Myers is
(00:36):
coming to New York City for the first time. He's
got questions. I love these calls. I love these texts
as well. Hi Bob, how you doing.
Speaker 2 (00:45):

couple of days.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
Okay, Well you think so you're gonna be in New
York City? You think you're better in New York City
than in Fort Myers. I don't know. Let's let's let's
post No.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
I love living here, but I've never been to New York.
So I am just I can't even tell you how
excited I am to come and just kind of check
the place out. We're coming in on Saturday, actually going
to a Yankees game on Sunday and then a Mets
game on Monday, and then we're actually gonna go stay
with my wife's family in New Jersey.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
Then okay, all right, so you read it all. Yeah,
figured out walking through the city can be a bit
challenging for some. I don't think it's challenging at all.
But we've lived here for years. So what questions do
you have from someone who's never been to New York City?
We're ready to answer.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
Well, I'm obviously one of the main things I want
to do is I want to see the Statue of
Liberty in person. You never because it's such a you know,
I've never.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
Been on a class trip.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
Yeah, I didn't go to class here. Come on with us,
then I should.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
Go with you.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
I haven't had any classes I've moved here, but you've
been gone I have.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
Then.
Speaker 5 (01:57):
Yeah, and it's cool, I say. I think it's maybe
not necessarily a stop and get out type of thing,
like if you were just to do a little fairy
ride through the river, right, you know, and it's free
and you can see her and it's beautiful.
Speaker 4 (02:10):
Yeah, okay, Well, yeah, one of those dinner cruises. Those
are really cool at night, you do the dinner cruise
there's music, there's dancing, and they go all around the
statue at night, which is pretty.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
Cool to Oh wow, that's cool.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
You can get the special tickets and go up in
the crown too.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
There's a limited number per day you can go up
into the crown.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
Bob, good god, Hey, then I'll be a princess, you.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
Know what I mean? You know what I've noticed. I've
never been to the Sasue of Livery, but I've seen
the island and her big feet, her bare feet are
on the pedestal. So if you have a foot fetish,
that's the ultimate place to go, right.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
One of the questions you have, well, so out of
your guys' opinion, like I only have like a few
days there, un limited time, what would you say would
be kind of one of the top things to go
and do?
Speaker 3 (02:57):
Or question?
Speaker 1 (02:58):
Okay, yeah, you gotta do a bagel, a pizza and
a pastrami, and the pastrami's got to be a Cat's
His Deli a quintessential place on the Lower East Side.
It's where Harry met Sally that's from the eighteen eighties,
got to go there, so it's a food thing.
Speaker 4 (03:12):
Danielle, I was there a Broadway show because you're here
in New York, and I mean, this is where it
all happens. So I think a Broadway show is very important.
Speaker 5 (03:19):
Gandhi, I think you need to go up either on
the edge at Hudson Yards or the top of the
Empire State Building and just take a look at the view,
because it's really, really.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
Pretty, very good. The views are pretty spectacular here. I
just hope you have good weather for the weekend.
Speaker 3 (03:31):
Yeah, what about you, Nate? Just walk around? Yes, go
to the West Village. Walk around. If you see a
good coffee place that has a line, stop and get
a coffee. If you see a great good pastry place,
just stopping. Chin, Just just walk around. Don't have a plan,
just walk around.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
I love that idea. We we live here and we
do that. What about use kandib. I know you're all
gonna yell at me, But if he's never been here before,
he's gotta walk through Times Square. Yes, I do what
I tell people Bob who are visiting, walk through Times
Square and keep on walking.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
Keep pocket.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
A lot of people think the Times Square.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
Is the only place.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
Times Square is just a little dot on the on
the on the the Manhattan and the Brooklyn and the
Borough's map.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
Yeah, I gotta we got a hot like kind of
a I don't know, it's like like an apartment, hotel
room type of thing. And it's it is real close
to Times Square. So I did want to do that
and wanted to see it at nighttime, just to be
in the awe of it, you know, and stuff. Of course,
that's why I wanted to check us some other things out,
you know.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
Okay. Also you can go down to the World Trade Center. Yeah,
that's a very important part of our history and a
place to walk. And even the walk between Times Square
and Downtown where the World Trade Center is located. There's
so much to do. You walk through the village like
like Nate saying, you go through Tribeca, you go all
the way down to the Financial District to fight I area,
(05:01):
and you see Wall Street, you see all that, which
is the original part of Manhattan. That's the original that's
the original park. Then walk over to World Trade.
Speaker 4 (05:08):
Center, Central Park. Don't forget Central Park.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
You got to go to Central in the Statue of Liberty. Well,
we talked about right now. I just joined you know,
you were here and then you know what Harlem is
fantastic Harlem, fantastic to eat and and and soak in
the culture. You got so many places to go bomb
I'm jealous. I want to see it again for the
very first time.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
He can we give Bob the list of things to
not do?
Speaker 1 (05:36):
Okay, where do you start?
Speaker 2 (05:39):
You know?
Speaker 3 (05:40):
I feel like there's things that you shouldn't do, like
what but not on your first time here. I think
if you do realize something halfway through, some people will
tell you not to take the subway. I take it
every day. I think it's totally fine. Go for it.
You'll get to see a rat eating a piece of something.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
Yeah, there's a rats.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
Well, I think I have to take the sub wait
to get to the games?
Speaker 1 (06:01):
Yes, go all right, done deal, take that subway.
Speaker 4 (06:05):
I hope you get to see Aaron Judge hit a
home run.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
Yeah in Boston.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
No one's coming up with things not to do other
than taking your subway, and you're gonna do it.
Speaker 5 (06:17):
I can't think of a thing to tell you not
to do do it all, don't.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
Yeah, just do it all.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
Yeah, for the first time, you know what, You got
to do it and learn and learn and live.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
You realize you'll never go to Times Square again, that's
not true. I go I roll the time.
Speaker 4 (06:31):
I love Time Square, you got it.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
I love to run away from Times Square. You know,
it's just really crowded.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
It is.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
It is the crossroads of the world. And so there
you go, right there. You know, every day until September twelfth,
they're doing twelfth Night Shakespeare in the Park with an
