New York City as central character. More than a sum of its telegenic parts, the Big Apple lives and breathes, morphs and crackles with an energy and an identity all its own.

Guests:

Wendy Wasserstein, Tony Award-winning playwright

Neal Baer, executive producer and head writer, Law & Order: SVU

Gay Talese, journalist and best-selling author
