The Lady in Red
It’s nighttime in the big city. The rain-soaked streets reflect the glare of passing headlights. The cab driver tosses a $0.50 tip out the window. A woman with a torch stands in the harbor. It’s Theme Time Radio Hour with your host Bob Dylan.

Good evening, Mr. And Mrs. First-Nighter and all the ships at sea. Welcome to Theme Time Radio Hour. And tonight we’re going to be going from the Bowery to the Bronx, from the East Village to Harlem, from Hudson Heights to Lenox Hill from Koreatown to Little Italy. From Hell’s Kitchen to Greenwich Village from Manhattan Valley to Marble Hill from Midtown South to Midtown itself, from Murry Hill to NoHo. From Roosevelt Island to Soho. From Spanish Harlem to Sugar Hill, from Sutton Place to Tribeca. From Tudor City to Turtle Bay from the Upper East Side to the Upper West Side, from the West Village to Washington Heights, from West Harlem to Yorkville.
That’s right, we’re talking about the greatest piece of real estate on the planet, a little island known as Manhattan. So settle in and join us for the next hour as we talk about New York.
