William Helmreich: The New York No One Else Knew

Episode 9

A walk through Queens with William Helmreich, a man who has walked every street in all the boroughs of New York City, not once but twice. 

We walked together in November 2017. In 2020 Helmreich became yet another casualty of the COVID-19 global pandemic. No one know the city the way he did, because he took the time to walk, to engage with people, and to take the time to discover things he never knew he would find.
