'Early Adventures in the Big City (As Remembered by Actors, Artists, Athletes, Chefs, Comedians, Filmmakers, Mayors, Models, Moguls, Porn Stars, Rockers, Writers, and Others.'

Who doesn't know someone who moved on a lark to New York - or plans to someday move there - and remembers or dreams of their own first, halcyon days in the big city?

Based on the hugely popular recent New York magazine cover story, MY FIRST NEW YORK will feature:

- The actress Lauren Hutton on jumping into a cab without a destination that first day in 1964 and saying the only New York place that came to mind: "Tiffany's!"
- The artist Chuck Close on days and nights at Andy Warhol's nightclub in 1967
- The chef Padma Lakshmi on arriving on Halloween night in 1974
- The Saturday Night Live producer Lorne Michaels on immediately buying what he deemed essential to wear in New York in 1975: a green corduroy jacket
- The restaurateur Danny Meyer on arriving the night John Lennon was shot in 1980
- The comedian Andy Samberg on shooting mice with a water gun in his first apartment in 1998
- The actor James Franco on learning to take the subway in 2008

Additional contributors include Alec Baldwin, Naomi Campbell, David Chang, Agnes Deyn, Jonathan Franzen, Elizabeth Gilbert, Ira Glass, Keith Hernandez, Derek Jeter, Garrison Keillor, Tony Kushner, Yo-Yo Ma, Wynton Marsalis, Toni Morrison, Joseph O'Neill, Oliver Sacks, Sarah Silverman, Tommy Tune, Diane Von Furstenberg, Rufus Wainwright, Jann Wenner, and more.
