About this listen

On tonight's episode of The Restful Record, we dive into the diverse history of New York City - first home to the Lenape people who hunted and gathered on its plentiful waterways and forests, then settled by the Dutch, who named it New Amsterdam, and finally the British. We explore the diversity engrained in the city since inception and the history of Wall Street and the 1929 crash. Finally, we experience the resilience of the city's inhabitants as they navigate the tragedies of both 9/11 and the Covid Pandemic, proving that there is no place like NYC.
