Last Night in New York

Last Night In New York chronicles the life of New York social diarist David Patrick Columbia and presents his unique perspective on the social, historical and cultural domain of NYC that he has been reporting on for decades. Naturally, the series touches upon the subject of "society" and where it's heading, but delves further into David's story, peeling back his layered upbringing and family background. His father was a chauffeur for "Black Jack" Bouvier, Jackie Kennedy's wild and womanizing paterfamilias. And it was at his parents' dinner table where conversations about the goings-on in the back seat of chauffeured limousines created rare moments of peace in an otherwise volatile household, sparking David's escapist interest in society. David's own family history is filled with drama, heart-breaking tragedy and great poignancy, making his a uniquely American story about social mobility, self-reliance and self re-invention - in short, of achieving one's dreams by dint of will, perseverance and personality. Notables featured in the series include Liz Smith, Charlotte and Anne Ford, Olivia Palermo, Patrick McMullan, Jill Kargman, Hilary Ross, Olivia Palermo, Geoffrey Bradfield, Susan Fales-Hill, Beth DeWoody, Nikki Haskell, Cornelia Guest, Gayfryd Steinberg, Carolyne Roehm, Muffie Potter Aston, and more.
