from The Bowery Boys: New York City History · host Laurie Gwen Shapiro, Billy Nemec, Carl Raymond, Greg Young
Alexander Hamilton vs Aaron Burr! Delmonico's vs Sherry's! John Adams vs everybody! Some of history's most fascinating stories involve important figures who did not like each other very much. In this edition of Bowery Boys History Live!, recorded at Manhattan's City Winery on May 26, 2026, Greg Young from the Bowery Boys brings some of these stories to a live audience, featuring author Laurie Gwen Shapiro, tour guide Billy Nemec, and the Gilded Gentleman himself, Carl Raymond. Featuring tales of Revolutionary War spite, obscene Gilded Age banquets, and Jazz Age flights of spite. PLUS: New York City's longest-running rival. NOTE: We performed at City Winery less than 24 hours after the Knicks clinched their place in the NBA Finals. This episode for produced and cleaned up by Kieran Gannon.
