THIS WEEK'S EPISODE:

Episode #1001: The Clown Don't Work For Free
First Broadcast: 10/7/24
We start with an event that should bring a tear to the eye of all New Yorkers--or at least all Manhattanites--of a certain age; a sure sign that the city has deteriorated in a very unwelcome way that makes one wonder if things are going backward instead of forward. Of course, I'm talking about the closing of the Stanton Street branch of the local Mexican restaurant chainlet San Loco, after 22 years of operation at that location. (What, you thought I was talking about Mayor Eric Adams being indicted for bribery and corruption? Pshaw! This is more important!) From there, I digress about the late Jon Vie bakery, which closed its doors 20 years ago (and yet I still pine for their cupcakes!); along with the continuing shrinkage of Indian restaurants on East 6th Street; the surge in upscale Indian restaurants across the city; my lack of knowledge about upscale Mexican restaurants; the appeal of Carnitas Ramirez tacos; the death of cheap middle-of-the-road restaurants in NYC in general; and how food inflation is too damn high, among many other things. Tune in, and see if you can keep up!

So, what is Free New York anyway? The simple answer is that it's a this neat little public access TV show on Manhattan Neighborhood Network which I co-produce with the tremendous help of my camerawoman/editor/everything else, Kim. The complicated answer is that it's a project of mine to broadcast opinions and events which don't always appear within "the mainstream media" (like The New York Times, the major networks, local radio, etc.), and so far I think it's been working.

If you think I'm doing a good job--or not--and you feel like sending me snail mail, the address is:

Free New York
P.O. Box 20945
Tompkins Square Station
New York, NY 10009

You can also email me at fny@freenewyork.net, which should get to me a lot faster than the snail mail.
