This week we are treated to Joe’s definitive guide to New York City, from the Pecking Ducks of Downtown to the essentials for getting into a row in a burger restaurant, and on to his recommendations for curious local delicacies.

We have a bizarre tale from New York, of perhaps history's greatest example of someone backing up their pub talk, driven on by a few pints and a stolen plane (or two).

There’s a story of a Hitler matchbook, and questions about what other strange memorabilia commemorates history’s monsters.

And Darren tells us about his big day out, riding the DART, enduring an odyssey on Wicklow’s buses, and encountering a gang of sea swimmers.
