NYC: know your city.

We’re back from our summer abroad to talk to our lovely guest, Alyssa Lott, about her stint working for City Hall as their social media maven. She tells us about how she got the job, getting yelled at on snow days, and the lack of perks as a city employee.

It’s summer and we’re back from our extended spring break! We’re talking about being a stand-up comic in NYC with our hilarious friend and master twitterer, Orli Matlow. She tells us about the concussion that started her stand-up career at Columbia University and where the magic really happens (spoiler alert: in basements!)

We’re back and we’re pulling back the curtain on NYC bars and restaurants with our guest, NYC hospitality veteran and up and coming influencer, Lauren Swan-Potras. She tells us why she loves working in the restaurant industry and shares some wild behind the scene stories.

NYC is a tough place to live, let alone find parking for your bike. Join us as we navigate the trials of the city with real tips and hacks from our friend and renaissance man, Mason Hu.

We’re bringing up intercity beefs with the big one: LA vs NYC, with our friend, former New Yorker and current Angeleno, Alexander Schwartz. We finally put the old argument to rest of which city is better (spoiler alert: NYC).

With the holiday season upon us, Sime and Victor brave the cheerful, crowded, and so-damn-wet streets of New York on a Sunday afternoon with our friend, and Christmas enthusiast, Bob Proctor. Have a listen to the sorts of holiday glee NYC has to offer.

In this episode, Victor and Sime invite their old friend, Therese Whelan, to the brand new Museum of Illusions. With no shortage of wonderful and different museums in NYC, we really wanted to test Therese's thoughts on what a "museum" actually means.

Our guest, the delightful Eryck Tait, participated in the NYC Marathon. He tells us what it was like running in the largest marathon in the world and his favorite neighborhoods to run through and all of the characters he encountered along the way. We also ask him what the hell he ate while running and whether he or Šime and Victor should ever do it.

This week we venture into somewhat controversial territory: the land of crazy milkshakes and other instagrammable restaurant fare with our very funny special guest, Jay Schmidt! The three of us sample the insane milkshake concoctions at Black Tap Burger and discuss whether it was worth the sugar rush that people often wait hours on line for.

Welcome to NYC! Meet your hosts, Victor Bekker, a native New Yorker with plenty of strong opinions, and Sime Viduka, a west coast transplant who’s been in the city long enough to call himself a New Yorker.
