This series is mandatory viewing for all New Yorkers and strongly recommended for anyone else, whether you've visited, intend to visit, or wouldn't be caught dead here.
Fran Lebowitz and Martin Scorsese capture the feeling of the city from the 70s to the present perfectly. I've been here more or less the whole time and I just sat and marveled. Plus, one can't say enough about the editing, the music and the overall presentation of Fran Lebowitz's wit and wisdom. She's an unusual person and this is an unusual film, all in a good way. It's the perfect film for these times.
