New York: Episode 9 by Ric Burns An elegant, lyrical and compelling portrait of the greatest and most complex of cities. This definitive series chronicles the history of New York.

Since its premiere on PBS in September 1999, New York: A Documentary Film has become one of the most popular American public television series in history, with just under 20 million households tuning in over its decade-long broadcast.
