Take part in a future Bowery Boys: New York City History podcast! We’re looking for stories about feeling at home in New York City for a future ‘listeners’ stories’ episode.
The subject — New York City as home — or a home away from home.
Are you a native New Yorker? What makes New York feel homey to you? Do you have a story about this? Did you live with several generations under the same roof? Did you have crazy family meals — or just amazing solo meals at the corner diner?
Are you a New Yorker who has moved away from the city? Do you still order something from New York and have it shipped across the country to get that homey feeling?
Are you a New Yorker who was born in another place? When did you first realize that New York started feeling like home? Did it ever? Do you still call your old hometown “home” — or when you say “home”, are you now referring to New York?
Are you somebody who has never been to New York City — or only been here on visits? When you visit, do you feel at home in New York? Or do you feel like you’re on another planet? And then, when you return to your real home, do you bring New York back with you, in some way? And do you dream of making New York your home at some point?
Just call our Bowery Boys hotline and record a message. Our number is (844) 4-BOWERY.
