I think they tried to bring forth a diverse group of people. They range from TV personalities to fashion industry folks. They also include people who have started businesses in NYC (such as chefs and web properties). Not to mention leaders of cultural institutions such as the MET and the Apollo.

Here are just a few of the names I came across:

Dany Levy
Eric Ripert
Mr. Mickey
Ivanka Trump
Debbie Harry
Jimmy Fallon
Tim Gunn
Cynthia Rowley
Coltrane Curtis
Alan Cumming
Lindsay Price
Simmon Doonan
Peter Gelb
Jonelle Procope
Le Bernardin
Marcus Samuelsson
Jahn Scott
Neil deGrasse Tyson
