Great show! I have learned so much here.

In the late 70’s Mr Capote came to Utah State university and spoke to the student body. I wish I could remember his topic. All I know is I enjoyed it very much.

Came for the Black & White Ball episode. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

if you love new york city this is a lovely set of stories about the people, neighborhoods and forces that created and move the city. well researched and good humored and enthusiastic, it focuses on the magic and energy of this city

My favorite podcast is Bowery Boys. Your interaction is natural, your knowledge is spot on and your topics are always interesting. I love love your shows. I’m so interesting at dinner bc you teach me so much. ❤️

I have been listening to this podcast since 2010 and I love it as much now as I did then!

This was a fantastic podcast! Informative and interesting. The Bowery Boys have done it again!

I fell in love with NYC when I was attending NYU in the late 80s. I took a fantastic class about the architectural history of NYC that was part indoor lecture and part outside walking tour. It made the city come alive. The Bowery Boys reminds me of those days and once again, stirs up my love for the city. It is in these bygone glimpses that I focus when I go back to visit because the current state of the city is far from fabulous.

Good day! I’m thoroughly enjoying the podcast after finding it from another podcast. My comment is that you mentioned the Draft riot of 1863 as a horrific event but failed to mention a key aspect of that event is that the orphanage was for colored children and a white mob targeted the institution likely because of its mission. I would expect an enjoyable and historically, hopefully accurate podcast, would mention this salient point.

First time listen. The Hotel Theresa episode. Mind blown. Info. Mood. Quips. I was completely mesmerized. I had to rethink my own ideas of Harlem.

Love love love!!!

Listening to this show is like getting a behind the scenes tour of ALL of New York from its very beginnings. It really enriches any trip you take to New York

Loved the Teddy Roosevelt episode #418 but check your facts, data and science Re: endangered species (USFWS Enhancement Reports) before casting blanket statements.

I can’t believe it took me 16 years to discover this podcast about one of my favorite topics: NYC! Nevertheless, I’m glad I’m here. I was inspired to search for a podcast about NYC history after getting my sightseeing guide license. In the two months I’ve been listening, I’ve devoured over 100 episodes, often listening to six or more back to back. Greg and Tom have great chemistry and passion for the subject, and their stories are easily digestible and offer incredible insights into this city that we love. I can’t wait to see them live this month!

In 1967 when I was a college student I had some involvement in The Catholic Worker. I’m wondering if you will be addressing this organization in your next podcast about the East Village?

I lived in New York for 10 years during the late 70s and 80s. I wish this podcast had been available then. Great job! Always informative and entertaining. It shapes all my visits back to nyc. Bravo!

Listening to Valerie boys podcast is time well spent. And I don’t live in New York and never been to New York but I’m beginning to feel like a New Yorker.

I just recently discovered your podcast and I love it! It’s so well done, and there are topics for every interest! Thank you for sharing your love and knowledge of New York with us!

This podcast is a grad level course gifted by The Bowery Boys to the public. The entertainment value added to this educational experience is 100% due to the passion that Greg Young and Tom Meyers have for ALL things NYC. Even if you think you’ve uncovered it- let the Bowery Boys teach you what you think you “might” know. The song and the slant capture the essence of this jewel of a city!!

The history. The silly jokes. The love for NYC. It’s contagious. If you live in NYC or you just love it, this pod simply transports you to your favorite neighborhood or street.

My last trip to NYC was October 2019, just before Covid happened. I started listening a month after that trip! I now have the LONGEST list of places I need to visit soon! Can’t wait for my next trip. In the meantime I’m going to keep listening to the Bowery Boys!

Whether you live in NYC or not (I don’t), the Bowery Boys is a must-listen. Tom and Greg do an amazing job of covering fascinating people, histories, and stories with their trademark insight and humor, and almost all the stories end up having ripples far beyond just New York. The show is full of curious tales, hidden gem places and stories, and an impressive number of cheesy puns, and it’s always a delightful listen!

My dad and I have listened since the start of the series. We would talk about the episodes over the phone and all things New York history. Perhaps you will see this or not, but he passed away today and talking about your podcast was the first thing I realized I’d miss. From the both of us, thanks for the good years and conversations.

Love Love Love this podcast! Thanks guys!

Just re-listened to Tale of Two Edies. Great episode!

A must for any NYC history buff. So entertaining and fascinating

The photography episode was so thought provoking. We’ve come a long way! Well researched and pleasant to listen to! Thank you for broadening my mind.

What a great podcast about the people and places that make New York City the greatest city in the world Sean Yonkers New York

Best one yet.

Each time I listen it makes me want to go to NYC and take their tour. I bought the book, and read it cover to cover. Enjoy their information and their personalities.

Fascinating situates and way backs for this girl trapped in the Midwest with long forgotten dreams of a future in the big city ❤️

Excellent podcast. If you enjoy history podcasts, this one is for you. I also love their voices. Perfect podcast to listen to while falling asleep. I've been a listener for many years and I recommend it to anyone! Great job guys!

I’ve been listening to the Bowery boys for 10 years but only just getting around to giving it the 5 stars it deserves. My all time favorite podcast, I’ve probably listened to every episode twice and I always recommend it to friends! If you love history, and cities full of it, you’ll love this. I am not from NYC (but I’m lucky enough to visit once a year it) so I don’t know the areas they discuss but I love looking it up on a map and sometimes plan a few stops when I know I’ll be going next. Not knowing NYC that well doesn’t stop this from being an incredibly enjoyable listen. I love the hosts, and I am thankful for their research, and for their sharing what they find!

As a native New Yorker, urban planner, and history nerd, The Bowery Boys podcast absolutely feeds my soul with every episode. Greg and Tom and do an incredible job of diving deep into each topic they tackle, and have made me even more enthusiastic about the city I already love.

Discovered the show through the Gilded Age Podcast. Listened to every episode available through iTunes. Have enjoyed nearly every episode. The only issue I have is that the end of every episode the editing is clipped with periods of conversations repeated. It’s like they were rushed and didn’t bother to clean up the last 10 to 5 minutes of the podcast.

I have loved the Bowery Boys for years. When friends tell me they’re coming to NY, I tell them to start listening to this podcast immediately! It’s a great way to enrich a visit

I just found this podcast and I’m obsessed! I love the conversations about the topics and I truly appreciate the research that is done to make them so informative . The show are lively and entertaining. Thanks and I will definitely keep listening!

I have been binge listening to this podcast. I am not from New York but there’s so much rich history and some great stories, I love it! My only issue is that I recently realized how much the two hosts use the phrase “of course”. And once you notice it, you can’t stop hearing how much they overuse it. I’m sure I do something similar “like” with my speech pattern but I don’t host a podcast. Otherwise I really do love the stories and how much fun they have geeking out on NY history!

The language is rushed- slow your speech pattern.

What a great podcast! Love the history and love the sense of place.

Listen every day and learn something new!

I love the Hudson Valley and the work ir inspired - and I relish every episode of the Bowery Boys. Thank you guys! - @harveyjkaye

I freely admit I love NYC. The Yankees and Broadway. Museums and architecture. And everything else! So this podcast has become one of my favorites. Studiously researched and broad in its range of subject matter. And the great presentation by the hosts. Keep up the great work. I love it!

I’ve been following these guys for years. They never run out of interesting New York City history and stories to talk about!! Always fun and interesting!

A one stop for all things NYC. Tying together the past and present in each episode, they make the history alive. Their unique brand of story telling makes this a go to for anyone that loves NYC or just loves history.

I’m a new listener and I’m absolutely charmed by these engaging and knowledgeable hosts. I love history but I’m sorry to say- as a native Philadelphian who has resided in Chicago for 25 years- I only >like< New York. However I must say these fellows are turning me into a big ol’ New York fan! Truly, the history of NYC is the history of America and I’m enjoying the tour! Thank you!❤️

As a long time fan, Bowery boys podcasts brought me and my family so much joy and positivity during the pandemic—providing an entertaining escape and inspiration for many field trips when restrictions lifted. Listening to a favorite podcast on the way to nearby attractions like Grants Tomb, the Gold Coast, the obelisk in Central Park and the Bronx Zoo has given us a huge appreciation of our local surroundings and enriched our experiences tremendously! Love your road trips especially our local OCA trail. Thank you Tom and Greg! Planning a trip to the TWA hotel and walking tour iof the world’s fairgrounds next!

It doesn’t get better than the Bowery Boys! Equal parts erudite and entertaining—you don’t need to be a New Yorker to love every minute of these episodes. Everyone I’ve recommended this podcast to becomes obsessed!

I have loved hearing about all this NY history and can’t wait to learn more! I just wish the first 9 episodes were on here….for some reason they just seem to have disappeared.
