ARTISTS CONCEPTION OF “ART WITHIN ART”

Now imagine, if you will, that this artists rendering is inside another artists rendering. And the artist who created itwithout getting too graphic is literally inside another artist. Pretty wild stuff, huh? Yeah. Wild.

WALKING

There’s nothing quite like the beautiful, surging chaos of the sidewalks of New York. It’s a sea of humanity out there, in the summer a literal melting pot, where thousands of people with thousands of wants and dreams and flu-bugs and bedbugs converge to add up to something greater than any one of them.1

But like the treacherous undercurrent of the sea, the sidewalks of New York have their own potentially dangerous—or at the very least annoying—flow. Top scientists attribute this to the fact that New Yorkers seem to walk faster than anyone else in the world. Why are they going so fast? Where are they all going? Why don’t they leave a few minutes earlier? We tried to ask, but everyone rushed right by us.

This fast-walking is especially hazardous around revolving doors, which are great at keeping out the drafts and noise of the streets,2 but, coupled with the speed at which New Yorkers walk, also have the potential to spin like the frenzied blades of a food processor. Watch out, New Yorkers!

The point is, walking in New York can be a blessing and a curse. It’s nice to live in a city where physical activity and fresh air are part of the daily routine (are you listening, Los Angeles?), but also, with all that walking, your feet are going to kill for the first few months.

PROS: Self-reliance.

CONS: Blisters.

CONCLUSION: Jury’s out.
