Presented by Ade Adepitan, Anita Rani, Ant Anstead and Dan Snow, each programme is filmed ‘as live’ to capture the sense of being immersed in real time in each world famous location - Grand Central Terminal, New Fulton Fish Market and Central Park.

The series offers a 360-degree insight into the lives of New Yorkers - how they get about, how they are fed, and how they relax. From gentrification and the affordability of housing, to the importance of green spaces and futureproofing a megacity, the series will unpack different themes along the way to look at how each location contributes to New York’s commercial value.
