This summer, I had the pleasure of joining Alison Stewart on NPR’s All Of It to talk about my favorite place in the world—my hometown, Staten Island.

What made the conversation even more special were the callers. Each one shared heartfelt stories and hyperlocal recommendations that reminded everyone listening why this borough is so beloved. Staten Island is a treasure trove of history, nature, and culinary gems—and it’s all just a ferry ride away.
Here is the audio to the show and a followup article in the Advance/SILive.com.
