New York City. New York icon.
Wander the New York City streets and fascinating mind of wry writer, humorist and raconteur Fran Lebowitz as she sits down with Martin Scorsese.
1. Pretend It's a City
2021-01-08
Meet Fran Lebowitz and join her on her rambles as she muses about deadly distractions, Times Square terror, subway stoppers and total building fails.
2. Cultural Affairs
2021-01-08
The mysteries of talent are scrutinized as Fran looks at the peril of writing, the joy of Motown and the time Charles Mingus chased her on the street.
3. Metropolitan Transit
2021-01-08
Mean cabbies, arty subway stations, interstellar tourism and spacey bus drivers can get Fran going. Then Leonardo DiCaprio offered her an e-cigarette.
4. Board of Estimate
2021-01-08
It's a living: Fran hates money but loves things, so she must work — though she prefers to read. Winning the lottery may be her only other option.
5. Department of Sports & Health
2021-01-08
Knowing that some are annoyed that she's still alive, Fran understands that smoking is bad for you. "Wellness" and sports sound even worse to her.
6. Hall of Records
2021-01-08
Fran's all about fun — guilty pleasures, not so much. Just give her a party, a movie, a small child or a luminous Cary Grant. You can keep technology.
7. Library Services
2021-01-08
Books opened up the world to young Fran. Today, she can't throw a volume away — but she will trash the writer of a glowing blurb for a lousy tome.
