Earlier this year we partnered with Commissioner Julie Menin and the New York City Mayor’s Office of Media and Entertainment to launch the “One Book, One New York” program, a new initiative to get everyone in NYC to read the same book at the same time. Five celebrities selected five books for all New Yorkers to choose from during the month of February, and today we're pleased to announce our winner: Americanah by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. 🗽 ❤️ 📚
