Best history of NYC: http://amzn.to/NY-DVD-Documentary
If you are interested in a thorough but entertaining history of New York City this is as good as it gets. Ric Burns provides plenty of details but doesn't forget that part of the reason viewers are watching is to have some fun too. Eight DVDS may seem like too much but with a city like New York it is surprising how quickly the show passes by, this collection is large enough to give you a serious history of the topic without getting too complicated. If you are looking for a travel guide to NYC this isn't for you, if you are a sports fan look elsewhere, don't expect a guide to theatre or restaurants either. This DVD set is meant as a visual history course of America's, if not the world's, most fascinating city.

Ric Burns has left huge gaps in the story of NY. I don't know if this is intentional or not but it basicly keeps the viewer in ignorance. Why do we have to know all the information about Alexander Hamilton? Who was the Commander of the fleet that captured New York (John WInthrop Jr.). What happened to the Dutch--how about upstate NY etc. etc. etc.
