NEW YORK -- Want to know more about interesting programs in your community and your State?

Every Sunday morning over 36,000 households tune in to watch "New York Viewpoint", "New Jersey Viewpoint" and "Long Island Viewpoint". The programs highlight the community and cultural efforts that enrich the quality of life in our neighborhoods.

These weekly round-table discussions are hosted by Eyewitness News anchor Ken Rosato.

Viewpoint airs at 5:30 a.m. on Sunday mornings.

This week on New York Viewpoint: April 28th, 2013
This week, we bring you information on the Asia Society's educational programs and how their school in Staten Island is recovering from Hurricane Sandy. We also bring you Citizenship NOW! - a New York Daily News and CUNY initiative that is helping folks to figure out how to deal with immigration issues.

Plus, information about Riverkeeper, a member-supported, watchdog organization dedicated to defending the Hudson River, and protecting the drinking water supply of nine million New York City and Hudson Valley residents. Riverkeeper has been raising concerns about Indian Point's impact on the Hudson River ecosystem for more than forty years.

And, are you concerned that your diet is making a chronic health condition worse? Confused about whether you should go low-carb or low-fat? - Wondering whether wine or beer is healthier? A new book by Reader's Digest, "Foods That Harm, Foods That Heal" might have some answers for you.
