City Between is a podcast about NY history and culture explored through film. In this episode we discuss Whit Stillman's "Metropolitan" (1990) and what the film can tell us about New York history and culture. Bruce and Sam talk about The Plaza, the Urban Haute Bourgeoisie, tuxedos, UES bars, the Fifth Avenue windows, Jane Austen, Debutante Balls, the Aristocracy, late night conversations, Automats, Checker Cabs, and more.
