NEW YORK - May 7, 2010 - It's never a dull day in Manhattan, and as the drama escalates on "The Real Housewives of New York City," so do the ratings.

The episode delivered 1.57 million adults 18-49 and 2.25 million total viewers, up 18 percent across the board versus the previous week and pacing to be the highest rated season for the series, averaging 1.27 million adults 18-49 and 1.87 million total viewers through ten episodes.
