The Simmel and Miservy team take a break from criticizing Junior about his eating habits so that they can lead us on a nice little trip into New York. I actually liked the film visually, having a lot of great images of the city circa 1940's, the narration though is slow, with many pauses in between (no doubt so Junior can write this all down). Somewhat curious dismissal of the Lower East Side too. But all in all, a great intro into NY culture of the past.
