Buster and the Reads go on a trip to New York City to meet Buster's dad. They explore the city.
Postcards from Buster contains examples of:
- Friendly Local Chinatown: Buster, Arthur and Bo visit New York's Chinatown where they visit a Chinese bakery where the baker tells them how zongzi is made.
- Furry Lens: Whenever Buster's recordings of New York City are seen, they're in live-action and show humans, suggesting this is how the characters "actually" see their world.
- Lions and Tigers and Humans... Oh, My!: Due to the camera recordings being live-action with real-life humans in contrast to the animated main cast of anthropomorphic animals, the episode gives off a vibe of this.
- Medium Blending: Buster's camera recordings are live-action; everything else is animated.
- Poorly Disguised Pilot: This episode serves as a backdoor pilot for the spin-off series Postcards from Buster, which would premiere on October 11, 2004.
