Welcome back to the podcast formerly known as “Take it From Toni.” The name never felt right to the host, Toni Sipka, and it’s now called “New York Stories & More.” Toni considers Manhattan home after living there for 30 years and even though she now lives in Maine. New York is the place Toni ate the best tasting $2.50 apple of her life.
This episode, Toni talks about the community inside the building she lived on Bethune Street in the West Village. She lived on the 5th floor of a walk up building. Her neighbor George lived in a studio apartment down the hall which also housed a grand piano. On another floor lived Andrea who’s kitten became friends with Toni’s dog Shannon and they would hang out in the hallway.
When Toni left New York, her 2 studio apartments were bought by actress Julianne Moore, and the co-op board didn’t make it any easier for her because of her status.
You’ll hear throughout this episode that the people of Manhattan are not what you think...
