| 06 Apr 2022 | Raising New Yorkers with NYC Mom & Native New Yorker Bethany Braun-Silva | 00:50:09 | |
Realities of NYC Parenting - all packed into one conversation, which includes an unbelievable Upper East Side story! On today’s episode, I had the pleasure of interviewing Bethany Braun-Silva, who I feel I’ve hit the New York City Lottery of guests, to represent raising New Yorkers in so many ways than one. You’ll have to tune in to the episode to hear them all. “Bethany Braun-Silva is an on-air parenting, entertainment, and lifestyle expert. She is the former editor of Parenting.com and frequently writes about the latest and greatest gear for parents and kids in the city. She was previously the Senior Editor of Big Apple Parent Magazine and has written for OK! Magazine, Hollywood Life, Mom.com, and CafeMom. She is a graduate of New York University, but her proudest accomplishment is being a mom to Elias and Jake, who make life (and work) endlessly fun”. During our conversation Bethany notes how her first born birthed her career as a parenting expert as well as nostalgia of watching her children loving the same things she did growing up as a child in the city. Bethany’s energy and through-and-through native New Yorker personality, which she wears like a badge of honor, shines throughout our interview. She also brings a very realistic perspective on raising children in the city, plus what she likes and dislikes about New York City for kids; how the school system in NYC is bound to be the biggest barrier for city parents; why Times Square is not popular among New Yorkers; how you must live 20+ years in the city to consider yourself a New Yorker, and when I say so much more…I mean so much more! NYC parenting resources mentioned by Bethany in our interview can be found below. Reach out, if you have any questions.

| 13 Apr 2022 | Upper West Side Dream Living in NYC with Native New Yorker Hattie Kolp | 00:44:17 | |
This episode is a must listen if you ever wondered how New York City apartments work (outside the regular market) and how you can lock yourself into the city and an apartment forever, if you choose to. Hattie Kolp my guest today notes, “everyone can get a rent stabilized apartment in New York City.” But nearly no one, will get an apartment for the price and square footage she is paying today, in her childhood home on the Upper West Side. She reveals all the details and more in our interview today and helps to break down rent stabilized vs. rent controlled apartments, as well as how you can get one in NYC. I’m fortunate to have connected with Hattie to share her unique New York upbringing in the city with an even a more unique living situation. She shares the details on her pre-war gem of an apartment; family history on rent stabilized apartments; how she fell into fame and recognition during the pandemic due to her home; and lovely interior design skills and handy work. Also, how three Master Degree’s later she is finally doing what she loves. ------- Xoxo, | |||

| 27 Apr 2022 | Plant Powered Metro New York with Lianna Levine Reisner | 00:41:49 | |
This is one of the most impactful topics and conversations to date on the podcast, with guest @plantpoweredmetrony, because it could actually help transform and save lives in small steps but dramatic ways. New York City isn’t just about the dining and food experiences, nightlife, attractions, landmarks, etc., but it’s also the energy of the people, the communities built here, the connections we make, giving back and not just taking, and how we choose to build our everyday lives here. Did you know chronic diseases are the leading cause of mortality not only in the U.S., but across the world and Covid-19 did not help. All caused by a short list of risk behaviors that are generally under our control: •Tobacco use and exposure •Poor nutrition, including diets low in fruits and vegetables and high in sodium and saturated fats •Lack of physical activity •Excessive alcohol use With pizza, bagels and BEC’s as the culture of NYC…I bring this conversation to the forefront to not only inform and educate myself and fellow New Yorkers on what resources are available in our community, but also for those who want to elevate their well-being and lifespan. ***TONS OR RESOURCES LINKED IN THE SHOW NOTES*** Lianna Levine Reisner, Newtwork Director at Plant Powered Metro New York, a non-profit organization in the city that started in 2019, helps to empower people to find better health and overcome chronic disease through whole food, plant-based nutrition. Lianna joined me to share her NYC story and initial culture shock of NYC and how finding places beyond the tourist traps ended up being her safe haven, as well as, how freedom of movement with transportation and all that the city offers has been a dream come true. She’ll also share how she and many others like our NYC Mayor have overcome chronic diseases through nutritional changes and how one can start their own path today. This is a much listen to interview, if not for you, then for your loved ones.

New Yorkers in LA - do you feel the heat already on this topic or is it just the weather!? This topic never gets old and there’s so much to learn from those who call these places home as well as their fascinating stories. My guest today, @danielzahler started a movement to unite New Yorkers in Los Angeles. That’s right, The New York Times picked up Daniel’s unique, yet much needed community of New Yorkers, who have made the transition to Los Angeles and who have connected through a What’s App group of 250 ppl (with a waitlist to join) called, NYC in LA. Why he started this community and more on what his New York & LA story is - you’ll have to tune into the episode for that. However, what I can share is that Daniel has so many tips for both coasts along with pizza recommendations that will have you wanting to visit both cities to confirm. Daniel is a Harvard graduate in Chemistry & Chemical Biology, and has a JD from Harvard Law School. He even had a fellowship at Yale Medical School. He knows his east coast and is currently making his best life in the west coast while promoting a healthy lifestyle. Also did I mention, he not only offers multiple quotes on New York City, but he also shares a poem intertwining the city and Burning Man as one. Queue the heat and enjoy the episode!

| 13 Nov 2022 | Moving to NYC Post Pandemic with Brittney Scardina | 01:07:31 | |
Living in New York City is attainable, but not without many learnings along the way. In this week’s episode I sat down with Brittney Scardina, a new local to the city, who although did some extensive research before her move to NYC - she never saw the Ikea couch situation coming her way that would become one of her first #onlyinnewyork moments (like an episode of FRIENDS), and a pretty hilarious one yet, although not so funny when you’re actually living it. Brittney was an absolute joy to speak with, she brought a different perspective and approach to her move to New York City and she’ll share her tips in our interview. You can expect everything from:
And, why she choose the neighborhood she moved to plus so much more!

| 27 Nov 2022 | Native New Yorker & Gossip Girl Star Johnathan Fernandez | 01:13:21 | |
Are you ready for Season 2 of Gossip Girl on Dec. 1st?!? I hope you everyone enjoyed the thanksgiving festivities, because I have one more juicy dish to bring to the table on this New York Sunday. In giving my thanks, I’m grateful Gossip Girl existed, inspiring the Gossipnista podcast to be born, then bringing GG 2.0 to life in a bigger & bolder way, ultimately leading me to my run-in & interview with the talented & fun actor, Johnathan Fernandez, who plays Nick Lott, a series regular on the New Gossip Girl. So the questions are…..has dad Nick Lott gone bad boy in the upcoming season of GG? And, do him & Zoya end up caught up in the glitz & glamour of Manhattan losing their bond along the way? Oh, and where does that unassuming relationship between Nick Lott and Ms. Kate Keller go? Rumor has it, it’s all or nothing. Sparks will fly as Georgina light’s up the second season and Monet de Haan had better watch out thinking she can be Queen B. The sisterly love/hate relationship between Zoya & Julien continues as does the ménage à trois with Max, Aki, and Audrey. So much to cover and so little time! You’ll have to tune into my podcast interview with Johnathan to get the scoop on some of these topics, plus get a behind the scenes story of the GG cast members living in the city. Johnathan will of course, share his relationship with New York and his perspective as a native, as well as dive into his acting career. And might there be another O.G. cast member making any appearance this upcoming season - I'll never tell! Enjoy the interview. Xoxo, | |||

You can be you or be whomever you want to be in New York City. New York lends itself as one of the most magnificent backdrops in this world, while also being a place where ones expression can be truly embraced without judgement. My guest this week on the podcast is Johnny Cirillo, 'Watching New York'. He captures not only the beauty of the city, but it’s beautiful inhabitants through street style photography in the most natural, candid, yet polarizing ways possible. His page is what REAL New York fashion dreams are made of in my opinion as well as Vogue magazine, which he was featured in recently. By bringing a very realistic viewpoint on fashion in the city - Johnny, showcases New Yorkers who piece their outfit’s together creatively in various ways as he aims to share the essence of the city and its people in their natural state. Rarely, does that involve high fashion runway looks, but rather the raw and eclectic diversity of New Yorkers style season after season. In our interview Johnny reveals so much insight into his life and love for New York City, along with more about his account ‘Watching New York,’ and the creation of it. Also, his hopes and plans on where he sees the future of the account and his work going (THINK BIG). And, ultimately what he looks for in the people he shoots and where he captures his street style. I will say I was surprised to hear the one key ingredient Johnny looks for in his subjects….and it’s not always the best style. Can you guess what he looks for? You could end up next on Watching New York's account with all the amazing insights from Johnny. Head on over to his account to see firsthand more amazing street style at @watchingnewyork and be sure to follow! Enjoy the interview and style tips. | |||
| 06 Sep 2021 | The Bowery Boys (NYC History) with Greg Young | 01:31:13 | |
Podcasting is a labor of love and The Bowery Boys define it! Reinventing the way we consume history about New York City is what The Bowery Boys podcast has been doing since the 2000’s. The podcast is a New York City staple along with their hosts and creators Greg Young & Tom Meyers. On today’s episode and long holiday weekend, it’s only appropriate that I have Greg Young (@boweryboysnyc) to share his New York City story, insights on the city’s history, and how The Bowery Boys got their beginnings. Today, The Bowery Boys, are a media empire, which not only includes the podcast, but live shows, NYC tours, a book, and endless content about New York City’s history with so much more on the horizon. After countless media publications and interviews, I’m grateful to have had a chance to speak with Greg Young and have him share more about The Bowery Boys as well as how Lower Manhattan and September 11th may have had a big role in inspiring the Bowery Boys creation. He also breaks down the top episodes to start with, if you're new to The Bowery Boys podcast, (as there are nearly 400), amongst his favorites. And of course, never before heard tips on navigating the city as well as some that may already sound familiar, but that are reoccurring amongst my guests and key to navigating the city. Some of the biggest takeaways include New York is not a passive city; there’s always a new discovery in New York to explore or by viewing it in a different way; and that New York sometimes takes you on its own course of where your life and path should go…so be open! Shoutout to Tom Meyers, the other half of The Bowery Boys, who is on double baby duty having adopted a precious little girl during the pandemic. | |||
| 15 Sep 2021 | Original Gossip Girl with Nicole Fiscella | 00:42:03 | |
Nostalgia, it’s like it never left for Gossip Girl. I mean, New York’s mayor at the time, Bloomberg, even gave the show its own day in the city - January 26th. Tune into this week's episode as I bring you back to familiar people, music, and an interview with model, actress, and now mom, plus wellness guru, Nicole Fiscella, behind the original hit series Gossip Girl. It was an era that over-popularized the upper echelon kids of the #UES and sensationalized the glitz and glamor of New York City to many, which is maybe why many of us loved it. Alum Nicole, who was also known as Isabel Coates on #GossipGirl was #teamblairwaldorf all the way on the show, and so it’s no surprise her and Leighton Meester are real life bffs. But, Nicole’s journey in New York City leading up to getting booked for the show wasn’t always so glamorous as she too hit the pavement in the city (like many of us) to work towards her career in the industry. She lived all over Manhattan, and one thing is for sure, she can officially call herself a New Yorker having lived in the city for 10+ years. Yes, she even lived on the infamous #UpperEastSide, which her show made so popular indefinitely. Oh, and you won’t believe the chance encounter with Tyson Beckford she shared with me that may have catapulted her career as a model in the city. There’s also a mic drop moment when she shares the favorite pastime of the #GossipGirl cast in New York City. Please subscribe, rate, and review Gossipnista wherever you listen to your podcasts.

| 21 Sep 2021 | Hip Hop in New York with DJ J-Ronin | 01:20:10 | |
In honor of his birthday and it also falling on the same day as #NationalNewYorkDay (Sept. 21st) - I did everything in my power to drop Brooklynite, DJ J-Ronin’s episode today! Tastemaker in hip hop, business man, and best damn networker in New York City are words I would use to describe Jonathon Marvin a.k.a DJ J-Ronin (@jronin82). Hip hop and martial arts were in his bones long before Wu-Tang made it popular, respectfully. But, when Wu-Tang changed the Hip Hop community in the East Coast and around the world with their one of a kind beats, lyrics, and uniquely skilled members - DJ Ronin became a part of it. He was signed as a DJ for them and also Wu-Tang radio - (C.R.E.A.M)! In case you don’t know who Wu-Tang is, I highly recommend the Hulu original series @wutangonhulu. During this interview, there will be a lot of O.G. name drops from the underground and mainstream hip hop community. Hear DJ J-Ronin’s unique NYC story, from a Caribbean filled community in Flatbush, to his passion behind hip hop and martial arts and why he thinks “everyone should be punched in the face at least once”, as a reality check. He also gives advice on being aware of your surroundings in NYC, as well as being humbled and part of the community while respecting its roots and culture as key advice for newcomers. Additionally… “Your network is your net worth.” So get out there and know… “People can feel your spirit, they can feel who you are and what you’re about.” This, along with many other reasons are why doors have opened for Jonathan Marvin and why I’m glad to have met him on one unexpected subway ride, when first moving to New York City. Who said…”New Yorkers are not friendly”! Tune in to hear all this and some of his music as well as his picks on songs that define hip hop in New York and so much more. Xoxo, Gossipnista | |||

| 25 Oct 2021 | NYC Real Estate is Back with Starr Densford and Jordan White (The Rosen Team) | 00:58:12 | |
Broadway is back and so is the New York City real estate market. According to major online publications, “The first half of 2021 experienced a record-breaking number of residential contracts signed.” And…it has not stopped since! Word on the street is that the rental market is just as busy with lines to see apartments and bidding wars driving up costs. At the beginning of the pandemic, it looked as if New York City would potentially be making a major shift in the housing market, as many left the city in search for more space. This would ultimately shift the NYC housing market, creating a drop in demand and contribute to an overall decrease in housing prices across NY. This major shift would allow for more artists, creatives, and young people to filter in at more reasonable entry costs. However, that no longer seems the case as the shift back to the city greatly increased, but not to worry as there’s always opportunities somewhere here in the city. My two guests today, Real Estate experts from The Rosen Team, Starr Densford and Jordan White, share what they’ve seen in the market this year and where it’s going. It’s a very insightful interview on the lay of the land on the NYC real estate market and beyond. Topics such as, where to buy, top neighborhoods, average price point in Manhattan, and differences between co-ops, condos, and townhomes, etc. Plus their unique stories as well as how some are destined to know their career path early on, although, it’s never too late to pivot to a 2nd or 3rd career change and thrive. The Rosen Team understands the essential need to change with the always-shifting tide of the market. It was so much fun talking to Starr and Jordan.

It's the two-year anniversary of the Gossipnista podcast today and there is no better way to celebrate then with my special guest today and her amazing music about New York City.... I still can’t believe I had the opportunity to interview such a talented up-and-coming musician and artist such as Erica Zigon. And yes, she’s definitely from New York, but you’ll have to tune in to find out where… Her authenticity and talent is so raw with so many colors and stories to share throughout our interview, I am nearly left speechless. You can expect a two episode installment with Zigs, today’s and the next one dropping on 11/22, which actually lines up perfectly with the two year celebration of the Gossipnista podcast today. With major inspiration from her brother, who she’s always seen as a rockstar, and who helped to shape the musician she is today, she goes deeper into this bond, as well as her admiration for pop charts sensation Jon Bellion, and many other topics including New York City. This is just the beginning for Zigs and I absolutely love the motto she’s adopted, “I try not to focus on getting bigger…just getting better.” Amen to that and the new Manhattan/New York song she has created for the city!

Episode 47, I bring you Part. 2 of From New York with Love with Zigs (Erica Zigon). Zigs and I talk about how her iconic New York songs nearly didn’t happen, and how the song Manhattan was born in the living room of her small apartment. It was there in which it all began and the entire band jammed out in an impromptu session to create the foundation for the song. She also reveals the band who sparked her creative process for this New York centric album, plus much more. And, as the winter and holidays approach, we also discuss her non-profit We've Got You Covered (WGYC), which aims to help the homeless population in the city by providing blankets, shoes, clothes and above all a human to human connection. Zigs notes, she’s learned more speaking to these homeless individuals and hearing their stories than she did throughout her schooling. Now, that’s what I call the school of life in New York City! Tune in and let us know which version of the Manhattan song you like best - the studio version or regular version? Enjoy the interview and thank you for your continued support! ------ | |||
