THIS WEEK'S EPISODE:

Episode #1051: Turducken
First Broadcast: 4/20/26
Is $40 a worthwhile price for a half rotisserie chicken with roasted potatoes at a sit-down restaurant? Is it really any better than a half rotisserie chicken with two sides from a take-out restaurant for $18.95? Are either of those a better deal than a half rotisserie chicken from a supermarket for $7.49, or a whole rotisserie chicken for $8.99, or a whole chicken you can cook for yourself for $2.99 a pound? How upsetting is it that food inflation is outpacing general inflation? Do you miss Mama's Food Shop as much as I do? When's the last time you had an RC Cola? How about a Moxie? Or a Manhattan Special? Will we still be at war with Iran, or the Pope, or Cuba when this episode is done? Only time will tell!

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:

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