Happy 4th Everybody! What a great holiday. It’s a beautiful day in New York! It’s not scorching hot, I’m not sweating too badly, the cats haven’t melted, and we’re all getting along together. I just finished making about ten pounds of pulled pork, and I’m going celebrate by eating as much of it as I can before I barf. America! And…

Also, it totally pertains to our New…

So, for those that join us on New Amsterdam: Birthplace of New York, we will now be ending the tour in the traditional 17th century Dutch fashion…
