76-Second Travel Show: "Chester A. Arthur Sandwich, The"

Episode #022
F E A T U R I N G * 4 5 * B O N U S * S E C O N D S



I spent President's Day thinking about two presidents: Theodore Roosevelt, the only pres born in Manhattan, and Chester A Arthur, the only one where you can buy a Lebanese sandwich in his old bedroom. Plus Arthur had great chops. Plus he wore five pairs of pants a day. Plus he pronounced his middle name 'Alan' as 'alAN,' French-style.

On Monday, I visited his old home, at 123 Lexington Ave in New York City, and requested a particular-type of sandwich. One that brings all these Arthur components together.

Warning: this video features two simulated gunshots, some blood, and the acting debuts of John Whitaker (as Charles Guiteau) and Eric Davison (as James Garfield).

  1. Reading about Arthur's travel show reminded me of when I had to write my thesis. I struggled with creating a glossary. If anyone is wondering, Was ist ein Glossar?, I found this helpful article that explains it well and gives great tips on how to create one. It really helped me a lot!
