Keith McNally has been charming New York City diners since he opened his first restaurant, The Odeon, in 1980, helping transform a then-derelict TriBeCa into a hotspot for the “glitterati.”The Odeon’s glowing neon sign was featured on the cover of1984 novel “Bright Lights, Big City,” and the restaurant was a regular hangout for celebrities from

Nearly five decades and 19 restaurants later, McNally’s Balthazar in SoHo, Minetta Tavern in New York and D.C., and other restaurants are still going strong. In his candid, funny and poignant memoir, “I Regret Almost Everything,” McNally, 73, shows that he is, too.But it might not have been that way. The book opens with a 2018 suicide attempt, sparked by back pain, a crumbling marriage and the aftereffects of a 2016 stroke which left him with aphasia and a paralyzed right hand.

Work — building and operating restaurants — helped keep him going. And with his speech distorted, he found a creative outlet in Instagram, where his filter-free screeds on everything — from dealing with his stroke to Balthazar’s evening recap by staff — often go viral.

“In some ways, it was only after I lost my voice that I learned to speak my mind,” he writes.Lynx coach Cheryl Reeve likes to compare Collier’s work ethic to that of Las Vegas Aces forward A’ja Wilson, a three-time MVP of the league.

“They each add something (to their game) every year,” Reeve said. “I think when A’ja Wilson comes back this year, she’s going to be even better than last year, which is scary — Same for Phee.”Collier has added something each year, whether that’s becoming more aggressive in hunting her shot or being a more consistent scorer off the dribble. That was clear during her stellar 2024 season, when Collier finished fifth in the league in scoring, third in rebounding and was the MVP runner-up behind Wilson.

Averaging 20.4 points per game last season, Collier led the Lynx to their deepest playoff run since 2017, when a Sylvia Fowles-led squad won the championship one year after falling just short.Collier is hoping for a similar run in 2025.
