In this episode of City Between we go in search of New York’s ur-city, its ancient origin… in New Jersey. Just across the bay once lied the small village of Communipaw where the first Dutch in habitants made their home. Made into a legend 200 years later by Washington Irving, we follow in his footsteps another 200 years along to explore the lost village’s legends and look for its remains.
