Development of Dutch colonial New Amsterdam into the British renamed New York premises the blossoming of the harbor into a cultural center known for inspiring artists, as a center for international finances, and for representing the essence of being American. James Woods narrates the visualization of the culture, the struggles, the legends, and the history of the city, and insights are provided by Brian Dennehy, Janeane Garofalo, Donald Trump, Joan Rivers, Steve Allen, and Ed Koch.
