The Kennedys' New York takes listeners to the locations where history happened. Each place has a story to tell, giving listeners a unique perspective on the Kennedy family’s history in New York, their chosen home. In The Kennedys' New York listeners will discover:
* The small theater where, in 1985, John Jr. acted in a play with a plot that eerily anticipated his tragic 1999 airplane accident.
* The doctor’s office on W. 16th St. where JFK would finally have his back pain eased, allowing him to endure the rigors of the 1960 campaign and the presidency.
* The New York hospital where JFK nearly died in 1954 and another hospital to which he was repeatedly–and secretly–admitted a few years later.
* The Upper East Side hotel at which JFK said a final goodbye to his young paramour in November of 1963, which would also be the site of John Jr.’s secret meeting with Princess Diana decades later.
* The midtown theater where Jackie viewed the X-rated film I Am Curious Yellow in 1969.
* The restaurant on West 51st St. where John Jr. ate his last meal.
* The private club to which JFK went after ditching his secret service detail while President one night in 1963, later grabbing a taxi back to his hotel!
* The two downtown New York apartment buildings where Carolyn Bessette lived in anonymity prior to her marriage.
