The Five Senses

The NYPR Archive Collections | Jan 1, 2000

This week, we pay homage to each of the five senses with the sounds of a game boy, the sight of a subway burial, the taste of music, the smell of poetry and the touch of Judy Garland. Plus, Jerry Adler brings to life the character of Bill Fleishmann, an aging New Yorker whose memories are very much alive.
