Marty Markowitz
Marty Markowitz, Borough President of Brooklyn, is a dedicated New Yorker. He’s the one responsible for creating Brooklyn’s very own exit and entrance signs that read “How Sweet It Is!” and “Fugheddaboutit!” During the infamous blackout of 2003, he stood on the Brooklyn Bridge with a megaphone and welcomed thousands of Brooklynites home as they trudged their way back from work. And during the dead-of-winter New York City Transit Strike of 2005, Markowitz invited residents into Borough Hall for warm drinks and a chance to telephone family members. CiNYC host Hank sat down with this personality-filled President to see what made him who he is today.
