Christoph Niemann, columnist par excellence for the NYT, and known for brilliant pieces such as his A History of Coffee Love, which I mentioned at ifranky in pre-frankylicious times, always is worth a read. Rands reminded me of this brilliant piece about New York: I LEGO NY.

If you have never read Niemann’s illustrated stories for the NYT, check out New York Cheat Sheets and The Boys and The Subway.
