Ep 23 - Streets of Cairo in Coney Island - a podcast by Bruce Burnside

The City Between Podcast takes curiosity and adventure as its guiding principles in searching for unexpected corners of New York City history and culture. In today's episode we meet the "Turks of Coney Island", an off-season troupe of performers who worked at the "Streets of Cairo" in Coney Island in 1896 and 1897. This finishes our current series on the Moorish influences in New York. Find more information at www.citybetween.com. You can find our more about Dylan Thurston, who composed our theme music at www.dylanthurson.com.
