Television personality Toni Senecal

You probably don't know who Toni Senecal is, unless you live in the greater New York area and watch local TV. :-)



She's a travel and entertainment reporter who's appeared on WNYW-TV, the local Fox station in New York, but started out at WPIX-TV and is now back there hosting "Toni On! New York," a half-hour program that looks at different neighborhoods of the city and the many attractions they have to offer.

She's certainly given this northern New Jersey suburbanite some ideas on how to spend an entertaining weekend in the city.

"Toni On! New York" airs every Saturday at 7:30 PM on WPIX-TV (Channel 11).
