Suzanne Reisman, author of Off the Beaten (Subway) Track, New York City’s Best Unusual Attractions, joins host Amy Sohn to discuss her walking tour, the rat eradication legacy of Mayor Eric Adams, a visit to an art star’s troll museum, and much more:
I have a very healthy respect for rats. They’re incredibly smart. The tenaciousness, the tenacity. I do think they’re pretty cute overall. Some of the big ones scare me a little bit, but overall they’re pretty cute. The real issue is too many of them, and the disease spreading potential combined with the destructiveness.
