Call the reservationist, we're popping champagne with downtown restaurateur Keith McNally and his spankin' new memoir "I Regret Almost Everything." From his homosexual relationship with British playwright Alan Bennett to hitchhiking across Turkey, suic*de, medical crises, class anxieties, retro revanchist Americana aesthetics, sex with unnamed celebrities, zinc bars, and of course, Patti Smith being a bitch—it doesn't get any more NEW YORK than this. Stay tuned for Part 2 next Wednesday!
