In this Season Two DVD set, you'll join host Jamie McDonald as he takes you to 30 classic New York establishments to share their unique stories. Included in Season Two are two sisters who helped usher in the punk rock era by creating a cosmetic empire on St. Marks Place (while also singing backup in the iconic band Blondie); a small workshop in Brooklyn that is the only company making copper cookware in America; an apothecary in Greenwich Village where Mae West and Mark Twain used to shop; a hotel in the West Village that housed survivors of the Titanic; and a steakhouse in Midtown that is so steeped in history that it displays memorabilia from the likes of Abraham Lincoln, Babe Ruth, Teddy Roosevelt, Tom Hanks, and Chuck Norris.
