Judy Gold: “The Early Years”

Comedian Judy Gold’s Off-Broadway hit 25 Questions for a Jewish Mother is now a book and she returns to the Y this Sunday for a special Mother’s Day celebration of, what else, Jewish Mothers. Use the discount code GLD when ordering tickets online or by phone to receive 50% off—it’s like buying yourself a ticket and bringing mom for free! She’d be so proud.

Here’s a Q&A on one of Judy’s other great loves, New York.

How many years, apartments and what neighborhoods have you lived in NYC?
23 years, 4 apartments, all on the Upper West Side.

What’s your best (or worst) NYC taxi story?
One time I was in a cab and the driver got into an accident (his fault - shocking) and he asked me for the fare as I was getting out to get another cab.

What era, day or event in New York’s history would you like to relive?
The End of WWII when those two strangers are kissing in the middle of Times Square. I would have also loved to be here in the late 19th century and the 1940s.

What’s your New York motto?
Don’t visit if you don’t know how to walk down the street.

Describe that low, low moment when you thought you just might have to leave NYC for good.
That has never happened.

Who do you consider to be the greatest New Yorker of all time?
Fiorello LaGuardia

With a nod to Milton Glaser, how much do you really love New York?
You can’t even imagine.

Of all the movies made about or highly associated with New York, what role would you have liked to be cast in?
Holly Golightly - Breakfast at Tiffany’s.

What happened the last time you went to L.A.?
I came back to NYC.

If you could change one thing about New York, what would it be?
Yellow snow.

The End of The World is finally happening. What are you going to do with your last 24 hours in NYC?
Breakfast at Barney Greengrass, stroll through Central park, pizza at Sal & Carmines, a Broadway show and then dinner at Per Se.

[Judy Gold in Conversation with Kate Ryan on Jewish Mothers: A Mother’s Day Celebration: 5/13/07]
