About the Host: Paul Summers
Paul Summers is a New York City native with a soft spot for mom-and-pop delis, hole-in-the-wall bakeries, and cafes. He loves the hidden gems on Staten Island where a local family welcomes you in with the comforting aromas of their kitchen—serving up home-cooked Sri Lankan curries, Italian pastas, Mexican stews, and other traditional dishes that offer an authentic taste of cultures far beyond the island’s shores.
Born in Brooklyn and raised on a steady diet of street food and subway stories, Paul made the move to Staten Island in 2012—and quickly fell in love with its hidden gems and small town living in the big city.
He’s been in the media world since 2009, bouncing between radio booths, video sets, and digital storytelling gigs, always chasing the human element behind the headlines. But it wasn’t until he launched his podcast that he found his true groove—spotlighting the cultures, characters, and cuisines that make New York’s boroughs feel like their own little worlds.
When he’s not behind the mic, you’ll probably find Paul taking long walks through Clove Lakes Park or wandering the surrounding neighborhoods, earbuds in and eyes wide open. A self-proclaimed foodie, he’s always on the hunt for the next unforgettable bite—whether it’s a Korean-Mexican fusion taco or the perfect New York slice. He believes every borough has its own flavor, and Staten Island? It’s the city’s best-kept secret.
