New Yorker of the Week: Meet Drake, a True NYC Original
from New Yorker of the Week · host Nora Fried and Hanna Gerlander
At the Tompkins Square Park Dog Halloween Parade we met an absolute NYC icon named Drake, a woman so unmistakably New York she could have only been born of this city’s chaos and charm. What is more New York than wandering the streets, spotting the most fabulous stranger, and immediately interviewing her?Then it got even better. Our friend was watching the pod and realized the iconic woman we met was the same person he had just sold a vacuum to in his building. Only in this city does your random dog-parade queen also become your friend’s neighbor.Tune in for a true New Yorker highlight with the fabulous Garnitz, a NYC stranger who instantly felt like our best friend in the making.Love us?
