“ I think the media story of the year in 2010 was the New York Times’s discovery of Brooklyn. Once a day, there’s a story about all the riches offered in that borough: there are young men and women wearing ironic glass-frames on the streets; there are open-air markets, like trading posts in the early Chippewa tribe, where you can make beads, simple beads at home, and then trade them for someone to come over and start a small fire in your apartment that you share with nine others; artisanal cheeses for sale on the street of an entire American borough. It’s been fascinating to watch the paper venture over the bridge, venture through the tunnel, [and] go out to the outer reaches, the ‘outer boroughs of the City,’ as they’ve been referred to in the pages of the paper… They’re making sandwiches in the streets! …It’s like Marrakesh over there!

Too brilliant to not transcribe.
