"And it's something that I kept pretty quiet, because I just wanted it to happen. I don't know how 1010 WINS got a hold of the information, but you did, and I'm not going to deny it," Mateo told 1010 WINS' Glenn Schuck.
"It's a first for us, at least during my lifetime, I've never seen a presidential candidate coming into our community. Not as a candidate, nevertheless as president," Mateo added.
Perry will attend two fund-raisers as well. He gets in Monday morning and is here until Tuesday night.
It will be Perry's second trip to New York City in recent days. On Wednesday, he had dinner with Donald Trump at Trump Tower.
