Forty-two years ago, Brian Mór and I rented a sign in Times Square during the Christmas season to send a holiday greeting to IRA prisoners of war. For one day, it went viral—back when “viral” meant print newspapers and local TV. There were no links to click, no shares or forwards. You either bought the paper the next day or happened to be watching at the exact moment the story aired.
Now, thanks to the producers of the documentary NORAID: Irish America and the IRA, which aired on RTÉ in July, that moment will live on forever. The idea that two friends, sitting on a blarney stone in Times Square, could provoke condemnation from the British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher and the U.K. ambassador to the U.S. made Christmas 1983 one to remember. @kareem @anthonydimieri @newyorknico @irish4zohran @matthewfischetti @rogerclark41 @jamjgo @branno_dublin @pushpull_pushpull @ernieomalleys

All the world’s a Cab,
And all the men and women merely passengers;
They have their exits and their entrances;

It’s not often Yellow Cabbies are treated like one of New York City’s true treasures — but that’s exactly what happened Thursday night at the premiere of the YouTube TV series Keep the Meter Running, produced and hosted by Kareem Rahma.
The evening began at the Metrograph movie Theatre in the Lower East Side , where a pristine 1982 Checker Cab sat outside like a movie star, posing for pictures under the lights. Inside was a who’s who of Saturday Night Live, Comedy Central, actors, models, and even Midori Valdivia Commissioner of the NYC Taxi and Limousine Commission .The Q&A was hosted by comedian Ramy Youssef.
Then came the important question: how do you transport 300 thirsty party animals to the after-party at the rooftop Boom Club at The Standard, High Line in the Meatpacking District?
No problem — 20 Yellow Cabs were lined up outside waiting to shuttle the crowd crosstown in style.
We arrived to find six glamorous models greeting guests with trays of champagne flutes. Two famous DJs blasted music completely unknown to me — but apparently beloved by everyone under the age of 40.
As the clock struck 1 a.m., I performed the classic Irish Goodbye and this Cinderella Cabbie headed back to Queens.
Later, lying in bed staring at the ceiling, I found myself humming "Once in a Lifetime" by David Byrne and Talking Heads:
"You may ask yourself, ‘What is that beautiful house?’
You may ask yourself, ‘Where does that highway go to?’
And you may ask yourself, ‘Am I right? Am I wrong?’
And you may say to yourself, ‘My God… what have I done?’” @kareem @keepthemeterrunnin @adamfaze @jackfidler28 @anthonydimieri @newyorknico @ribert6060 @madd.en @madyson.hearsh @krismerc @lovenewyorkfilm @butlikesrsly @i_d @nrips

“All the world’s a stage,” and somehow this old Yellow Cab driver ended up on one with Kareem Rahma at the Abrons Arts Center at the Henry Street Settlement.
Coming soon to YouTube: “Keep the Meter Running” — proof that if you stay in New York long enough, eventually somebody hands you a microphone instead of a fare. @kareem @adamfaze @keepthemeterrunnin @anthonydimieri @newyorknico @madd.en @jackfidler28 @i_d @ribert6060 @royalpiper1 @ernieomalleys

The madness of Season 2 of "Keep the Meter Running" drops tomorrow on YouTube! Find out how Yellow Cab drivers really live and eat. I’ll be featured in one of the episodes. @kareem @keepthemeterrunnin @anthonydimieri @adamfaze @newyorknico @ribert6060 @lovenewyorkfilm @

This is one of the many reasons we all love living in New York City.On Sunday, I went to brunch at 54 Below — known as “Broadway’s living room” — to see my friend and fellow WBAI host, David Rothenberg, the founder of The Fortune Society, a renowned reentry program for people returning home from prison. David delivered a hilarious hour of stand-up comedy and shared wonderful stories from his years as a Broadway producer and publicist to some of the biggest stars on the Great White Way. Christine Ebersole opened for him and sang a touching song about their longtime friendship. Christine Ebersole is an acclaimed American actress and singer celebrated for her extraordinary Broadway career. She has won two Tony Awards for Best Actress in a Musical — for 42nd Street (2001) and Grey Gardens (2007). What an absolutely perfect way to spend a Sunday afternoon. @ernieomalleys @fortunesociety @kareem @anthonydimieri @lovenewyorkfilm @newyorknico @ribert6060 @madd.en

The Coney Island Cyclone always takes me back. I can still see myself bringing my three young daughters there, gripping that rickety old roller coaster as it roared to life. Somewhere between the first drop and the last turn, they earned their stripes — that’s when they became real New Yorkers. @madd.en @anthonydimieri @lovenewyorkfilm @kareem @newyorknico @realchihuahuas_ofnyc

The dynamic duo Seth n’ Mac are heading where they belong — Coney Island — to entertain the great unwashed at the legendary Coney Island Film Festival.
First, we’ll light up the screen in Love New York. Then, stick around for a Q&A where we’ll dazzle, confuse, and possibly incriminate ourselves with our wit and questionable wisdom.
Join the madness at the Coney Island Museum at 9pm. @anthonydimieri @lovenewyorkfilm @ribert6060 @kareem @newyorknico @epsteinandhassan @edgnycstories @butlikesrsly @nems_fyl @gurleyflynnsociety

Love New York is rolling into Brooklyn this Saturday like it owns the Cyclone. Catch it at the Coney Island Film Festival at the Coney Island Museum, 9pm sharp.
Rumor has it—purely unconfirmed but highly believable—that a certain comedy duo from the film may stumble in after doing serious damage to a hot dog at Nathan’s and knocking back a pint at Ruby’s on the boardwalk.
So come for the movie… stay for Coney Island… and witness the sideshow attraction they didn’t put in the program: Seth n’ Mac—two men, no net, and absolutely no business being left unsupervised. @anthonydimieri @kareem @newyorknico @ribert6060 @sethgoldman75 @lovenewyorkfilm @johnnygaffney_ @nems_fyl @coneyislandfilmfest
