Writers Explain Why They Can't Quit New York City

The Leonard Lopate Show | Oct 21, 2014

Writers Phillip Lopate and Susan Orlean talk about why they think New York City is such a great place to live. They’re joined by Sari Botton, editor of the essay collection Never Can Say Goodbye: Writers on Their Unshakable Love for New York. The book is a celebration of the city from its dive bars to its museums, from horse-drawn carriages to subways.
