Follow me to Gargiulo’s Restaurant…one of the longest standing businesses on #ConeyIsland. There I met Chef Matthew Cutolo! He’s a third generation chef at the 117-year-old restaurant.

No prison time for #DanielPenny, the man accused of killing fellow subway rider Jordan Nelly on a F train last year. Neely had schizophrenia and passengers say he was yelling threats before Penny placed him in a chokehold for six minutes.

The news cycle can be heavy most times but it’s all about tone and delivery🎙️

Thanks for listening @twixmama.bsky.social #publicradio #WNYC

Top headlines this morning:

Biden pardons his son, Hunter. Plus, Daniel Penny’s #NYC subway chokehold trial nears the end. And, remembering treasured #NY sports figure, Lou Carnesecca, who died over the weekend. He was the beloved men’s basketball coach at St. John’s University for 24 seasons.
