Gossipnista: A New York City Podcast

The tracks had been laid for Andreas path to the New York City Subway in one way or another, and he was destined to become none other than, 'Mr. NYC Subway'!

It didn’t come easy however, with a little ingenuity, passion, transparency, consistency, networking, building the right team, and I’ll add perseverance, were all key ingredients that led him to his creative and his artistic side. Need I note, this does not include his 8-6 day job as a lawyer.

Episode 32 - Meet Andreas Verrios, the artist and creator behind one of New York’s most captivating New York Subway accounts. His artistic and precision photography captures the essence of all his subjects and their individuality. Without his photography lense, I personally may have never been exposed to the beauty that lies within the New York City Subway, and the magnitude of such talented people, here within the city.

Nearly saying goodbye to New York City once upon a time, Andreas is proof that anything is possible in New York and that the city will make you, break you, pick you up and constantly teach you lessons.

You’ll have to tune into the full episode to hear all about Andreas incredible New York journey, tips on the city, how to build your own following today and so much more!

After a very long 472 days, on June 15, 2021 the city that never sleeps is fully awakened. Happy Reopening New York!

What a beautiful day it is to be a New Yorker today and everyday, with so much excitement and change in the air.

On this week’s episode of the Gossipnista podcast, I’m bringing you a short twenty minute ‘Spotted’ segment of my first year experiences in the city. Everyone’s experiences will be different, but there’s a few core things that we all share in common as we navigate the Big Apple and in this episode I’ll dive into some of those.

From, the struggles of the subway system, to some hacks I’ve learned

by using an alternative means of transportation such as the bus & the different bus lines, as well as understanding - Avenues vs. Streets,

staying to the right and moving out the way while walking.

And so much more...

Tune in to hear about these twenty experiences that you may or may not relate to, and learn about for the first time, or just think I’m plain crazy about sharing :)

As home prices continue to rise, some will have the opportunity to buy a home in the city; others may inherit a family home in one of the boroughs; many will move to New York and rent an apartment as the majority will come and go. However, few will have conquered the city in such a short amount of time as my guest Demi Palmer has done and did it all before the age of 25. Making New York City her backyard and playground, Demi is only 20 minutes away from the heart of the city, West Village.

With light, love, humility, transparency and serendipitous moments that can only happen in New York City, Demi, holds nothing back in our interview and shares her New York story as well as pathway to home buying in Jersey City, for anyone looking to make that move now or in the future. “It’s an extension of New York”!

Throughout our interview, she provides great insights into home ownership and the costs that go along with it, as well as tips and hacks for buying a property, finding a realtor and a good contractor, and setting yourself up for a successful transaction, plus so much more.

Worldly, educated, and driven, she has also created an arts and culture community for musicians and people of color Tapped Brooklyn which shares their stories and artistry. This is an episode that will take you just outside of the city, while the intention of still always being a part of it.

Episode 29: I had the honor of speaking with one of New York’s frontline essential healthcare workers, Karla Mabini. Karla is currently assisting in distributing the covid-19 vaccines throughout New York City. When she’s not helping administer shots, you can find her saving lives in the operating room as an Intraoperative nurse in the city.

In our interview today, get ready to hear her recount some of the challenges faced in 2020. Also, hear some of the beautiful moments New York offered it’s healthcare workers during these trying times. Karla is an advocate on getting the vaccine shot and shares why it’s important we move towards “herd immunity", while also helping to answer questions we may or may not already know about the vaccines, during our conversation.

Ultimately, her light, love and gratitude for life and everyone who’s supported essential healthcare workers shine through. This is a must listen from someone who has experienced it all!
Karla wanted to express her gratitude to the following businesses below. Please check them out and see how you can support-
Specialized - Specialized gave Karla and other healthcare workers a commuter bike which they could use to go to work. It was a immense resource and alternative mode of transportation especially at the height of the pandemic to fell safer.
Transportation Alternative - This company helped match Karla with Specialized for a commuter bike. They accept bikes (used or new) to be given to those who needs it.
First Descents: Experience the Healing Power of Adventure - During 2020 this company awarded Karla and several healthcare workers with an all expenses paid rock climbing trip upstate. They generally serve Cancer and MS patients to offer these life changing outdoor adventures - but of course they made an exception for healthcare workers.
