Tales of New York

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 we’ll also meet the man who makes those souvenir “Lady of Liberty” statues that are so common in New York tourist shops. We’ll 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 that’s being cooked up in the corner of a New York pizza parlour… and a classic Peruvian cocktail wins over a food writer from Queens.
