This week, Dana gifts Anthony a chaotic Thanksgiving history lesson that starts with typhoid (because of course it does), then spirals into the grim past of Roosevelt Island and the fallout of Reagan-era mental-health cuts. It’s a story about disease, neglect, forgotten New Yorkers, and the strange ways history shapes the city we think we know — all told with the usual Caviar and Criminals blend of dark humor and uncomfortable truth.
