A bit of a special show this week as I play some soundseeing from my trip to San Francisco. Join me as I prowl the Laughing Squid party at a venue called Mighty, which is located on Utah Street. Thanks to Chris, Martin, Jeremiah, Eric Rice and the rest of the folks who were so hospitable on my trip out west.

Plus a hidden dining pick over at the Fairway Market Cafe and Steakhouse. You can't beat their $29 prix fixe dinner menu.

And if you've got plenty of cash to throw around on your next visit to the city, consider taking a US Helicopters flight from JFK to Manhattan. gets you there in 8 minutes but costs about $160 each way.

This is as close as we'll get to a New York City Marathon special this year on the show. Not bad though. In association with my friend Jerry Cahill, host of the Cystic Fibrosis Podcast, I covered the Team Boomer post marathon fund raiser.

The event was held at a very nice Irish Pub called Mr. Dennehy's. The pub is located at 63 Carmine St. near 7th Avenue South.

And yes I did interview one actual runner in the marathon. I also talk with Jerry about Team Boomer and mix with some locals who talk about their experiences around town.

This episode also includes a promo for an upcoming show by my pal Brother Love.
