"It's seeing the bridge from a distance and saying, ‘There are going to be 55,000 people that are going to traverse over that bridge from 150 countries from all over the world, and from every neighborhood in New York City.' And they've put in months of hard work. We have thousands of people that have raised millions of dollars for charity. There are people that are running for various causes that are inspiring their families, their friends, their neighborhoods, their communities. And most of all, they're inspiring the world. They're inspiring complete strangers as they run by them. And I think about that when I look at that bridge." —Ted Metellus, TCS New York City Marathon Race Director Every year on the first Sunday of November, more than 55,000 runners will take over the five boroughs for one reason: the TCS New York City Marathon. This episode is your unofficial guide to the iconic 26.2-mile race. Two jam-packed hours of New York City Marathon-related information. And this episode isn't just for the marathoners: We have tips for spectators, a breakdown of how to get into the race in the future, and general advice for having your best marathon day. As for my New York City Marathon love affair: This race is my Super Bowl, my Christmas, my birthday, Valentine's Day, my favorite day of the year. It was the first marathon I ever watched, back in 2008, when I went out to cheer for a coworker who was running the race. (Thanks for the inspiration, Therese!) I've run it three times — in 2013, 2014, and 2016 — and volunteered once, in 2015, at a fluid station in Brooklyn. In 2017, I cheered on “First and Fifth,” and in 2018, at three weeks postpartum, going to the New York City Marathon was my first outing since having a baby. I sat in the grandstands as Shalane Flanagan finished third, and pumped in a “fancy” (you know, the nice kind!) finish line porta potty. Then, in 2019, I got the best seat in the house for the first time: New York City Marathon finish line announcer. After announcing at the finish and at the Finish Line After Dark in 2019, 2021, and 2022, in 2023 I made my NYC TV debut. I joined the broadcast talent team as a reporter on the international feed, and was featured on the WABC7 local broadcast. Last year, I was on the ESPN and WABC7 broadcasts at the finish line, interviewing notables including Chelsea Clinton, Casey Neistat, Conner Mantz, Clayton Young, Sara Vaughn, Matt James, and Ilona Maher. This year: They're putting me on ESPN and ABC again! In addition to hosting a live show with Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone during New York City Marathon weekend, on race day I'll be part of the ESPN2 and WABC7 broadcasts as a start and finish line reporter from 8 AM until 5 PM.

As housing costs dominate the mayoral race, WNYC's David Brand reports on how the lessons from Greenpoint's boom are shaping the city's next big housing debate.
On today's show we are talking about the mobility of wealth. Everyone I speak with from NYC is extremely fearful of the change that seems likely in the Mayor's office next month based on early polling results. Many are considering leaving the city. Even those who want to continue to work in the city are moving to nearby cities and states. Some are going to New Jersey. Some are going to Connecticut, others to Pennsylvania.NYC has become a tale of two cities. There is a lot of wealth in Manhattan specifically. There are about 350,000 millionaires concentrated in a small radius on the island of Manhattan. There are about 120 billionaires in NY. But New York is about more than just a financial capital. It's a city of 8.5M people spread across the five boroughs of Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens The Bronx, and Staten Island. Last night's mayoral candidate debate pretty much sealed the outcome of the election which is only 19 days away. Frontrunner Zohran Mamdani is an eloquent speaker. He speaks nonsense with conviction, with stories, and with data to back up his nonsense. A great orator can be persuasive. I understand that people who don't understand money think that someone else will pay for their sense of entitlement. Free stuff can be attractive on election day. In the 1970's it was hard to believe that NYC could recover. It seemed doomed to a life of decay, crime, and outright chaos. We have experienced the resurgence of the city, slowly at first under Mayor Ed Koch, then more recently under Mayor Rudi Giuliani and Michael Bloomberg. This podcast is about real estate and real estate investing and not NYC politics. Why are we talking about this? Because businesses are not returning to NYC. Things are going to be ugly in NY for a while. If wealth is leaving NY, the obvious question is where is the wealth going? Where are these people moving? Who will be the biggest beneficiaries of New York's loss?------------**Real Estate Espresso Podcast:** Spotify: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://open.spotify.com/show/3GvtwRmTq4r3es8cbw8jW0?si=c75ea506a6694ef1) iTunes: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-real-estate-espresso-podcast/id1340482613) Website: [www.victorjm.com](http://www.victorjm.com) LinkedIn: [Victor Menasce](http://www.linkedin.com/in/vmenasce) YouTube: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](http://www.youtube.com/@victorjmenasce6734) Facebook: [www.facebook.com/realestateespresso](http://www.facebook.com/realestateespresso) Email: [podcast@victorjm.com](mailto:podcast@victorjm.com) **Y Street Capital:** Website: [www.ystreetcapital.com](http://www.ystreetcapital.com) Facebook: [www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital](https://www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital) Instagram: [@ystreetcapital](http://www.instagram.com/ystreetcapital)

Plus, Politico reporter Jason Beeferman joins us later to discuss the fallout from the leaked messages.
Several families are without homes after an auto body shop explosion and six-alarm fire Tuesday night in Hillside, New Jersey.

A Way with Words — language, linguistics, and callers from all over
Need a slang term that can replace just about any noun? Try chumpie. If you're from Philadelphia, you may already know this handy placeholder word. And there's Queens, Brooklyn, Staten Island, Manhattan, and . . . The Bronx? Why do we add the definite article to the name of that New York borough? The answer lies in the area's geography and local family lore. Plus, an Australian bullfrog that sounds like a banjo? Yup! It's called a pobblebonk. Also: get the pips, down your Sunday throat, jubous, dinor vs. diner, stepped out of a bandbox, a Carl Sandburg poem, quemacocos, sirsee, and a punny puzzle about doing well.
