For years, Vincent Kartheiser has been telling his hometown paper just how much he adores the Twin Cities. Now, he's singing the same praises to the New York Times.

In an interview that ran Sunday in the nation's largest paper, the "Mad Men" star listed The Current, 89.3 FM, as his favorite radio station. "It's a public-radio channel that pretty much plays the best music you ever heard, back-to-back, all day long," he said while also giving a shout out to Garrison Keillor.

If that wasn't enough, Kartheiser introduced the Times to the Jucy Lucy, although The Paper Of Record spelled it "Juicy Lucy." Kartheiser singled out Matt's Bar and the 5-8 Club.
