From the pages of New York Magazine comes My First New York, a glorious collection of recollections and reminiscences as fifty of the city’s most famous residents recapture the kicks and thrills of first arriving in the Big Apple. Actors and athletes, rock stars and porn stars, writers, artists, and politicos all share their hilarious, frightening, amazing early big city adventures. This evening at Greenlight, the book’s editor (and Fort Greene’s own) Matt Weiland and New York Magazine senior editor David Haskell host Brooklynites who tell their stories of arrival. Join actor Parker Posey, author David Rakoff and visual artist Kara Walker as they reminisce about their first experiences. Then share your own stories of coming to the city in the Q&A!
