Open Phones: Importing and Exporting from Your Vacation

The Brian Lehrer Show | Sep 4, 2013

You know the feeling -- you go somewhere new and you discover that something is done differently there and you think: "we should import that, that's a great idea". So what would you adopt here? The Paris-Plages (temporary beaches) right here on the East River? Wifi on long-distance buses? Cable cars like in San Francisco? A giant ferris wheel like the London Eye? What would you import, and what would you export?

Whether you were able to get away for Labor Day weekend or for a longer stretch this summer, we want to hear about what you learned during your vacation. What do you think should be imported from somewhere else to NYC? And is there something we should export to another part of the world? Call in to 212-433-WNYC, 212-433-9692, or leave your comment below!
