This week, This week, Mary Lucia talks about watching the final episode of Anthony Bourdain's Parts Unknown on CNN.

"A lot of people, myself included, found it really difficult to watch the remaining episodes after Bourdain passed away last year," Mary says, "and I honestly feel like this is the one episode I would say you can watch. Yes, it's sad. Yes, it's poignant. But he's touring the Lower East Side of New York — it's so fitting and appropriate."

As Bourdain explores and eats in New York's Lower East Side, he meets with many people who were pivotal in the cultural boom that was going on in that section of Manhattan in the 1970s; people like Richard Hell, Deborah Harry, Danny Fields, Fab 5 Freddy and many others.

"It's sad and beautiful and amazing," Mary says.
