In the City Between Podcast we explore the hidden and unexpected corners of New York City's history. In this bonus episode we visit part of a chapter of Washington Irving's "A History of New York" (read aloud) where the early Dutch settlers are washed ashore in Manhattan for the first time, eat oysters, pass out and dream of St. Nicholas flying over the trees. Our theme music is composed by Dylan Thurston (dylanthurston.com) and you can find out more about what we do at citybetween.com.
