I ran across this gorgeous building looking radiant in the setting sun on my walk through a portion of brownstone Brooklyn this afternoon. Built in 1897 as a hospital, it recently underwent renovation and restoration as residences.
On the Staten Island Ferry this evening. The blue and the orange contrasted beautifully. #siferry #statenislandferry
This artwork, “The Hive” by Elmgreen & Dragset, inside the West 31st Street entrance to the new Moynihan Train Hall, is the talk of the town. It is one of three permanent art installations in the new Penn Station concourse. #moynihanstation #moynihantrainhall #empirestationcomplex #pennstation #nyc
Checking out the Moynihan Train Hall, the new concourse for @amtrak and @mtalirr trains at New York Penn Station. It expands Penn Station by about 50% — and completely transforms the passenger experience. It opened to the public today after three years of construction and decades of planning. #moynihanstation #moynihantrainhall #empirestationcomplex #pennstation #nyc
🎄 Merry Christmas! We present our annual Christmas letter, along with our love to you and yours and wishes for a happy holiday and a very happy (and hopefully more normal) new year. [Link in bio]

Day 7 I’m grateful for this crew. We’ve spent way too much time with each other over the past few months. But there’s no one I’d rather spend a lockdown with. (But seriously, you three — CLEAN UP YOUR ROOM.) [Saturday 10 October 2020] #GiveThanks
Day 6 I’m grateful for the small things — which are really the big things that make life worth living. A short list:
Day 5 I’m grateful for faith and I’m grateful for doubt and I’m grateful for the hope that sustains me as I vacillate between the two — or, rather, as I hold both in equal measure. I’m grateful for expressions of faith, in glass and stone, in word and deed. I’m grateful that my faith and my doubt and my hope push me — imperfectly and falteringly — toward greater love, for those of my own faith, for those of other faiths, and for those of no faith at all. “For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known,” the apostle Paul wrote. “And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.” (1 Corinthians 13:12 [KJV], 13 [NIV]) [Friday 25 March 2016] #GiveThanks
Day 4 I’m grateful for cities: the one I live in, the one I grew up in, the ones I have called home, the ones I have visited, the real ones I dream of visiting, the ideal ones I dream of creating. Above all else, cities are monuments to humanity’s ability to join and build something greater together than we could build separately. They are where you can be surrounded by so many people and yet be completely alone; where you can get completely lost and, in so doing, totally find yourself. For all their faults — which are many — they have hosted our past, shaped our present, and provide hope for our future. “I can’t even enjoy a blade of grass unless I know there’s a subway handy, or a record store or some other sign that people do not totally regret life” — Frank O’Hara, 1957. [Thursday 19 November 2020] #GiveThanks
Day 3 I am grateful for these shoes and for the places they have carried me. I got them in July 2019, just before I left on my Pacific Northwest adventure. I knew I needed them then, but I didn’t know how much I would rely on them less than a year later in the midst of a pandemic as I walked everywhere to leave space on the subway and bus for essential workers. My Google Maps Timeline estimates that I have walked at least 2,500 kilometers (1,554 miles) since July 2019 — about the distance between New York City and Dallas — and I estimate 95%+ of those steps have been in these shoes. The tread is almost gone: on my recent hike through northern New Jersey, I’m pretty certain I felt *every* rock under my feet, and I can no longer wear them when there is the least amount of rain on the ground. So these shoes will be replaced soon. But I have been very thankful to have them. #GiveThanks
Day 2 I’m grateful for the subway. My wife and I brought our oldest child home from the hospital on the D.C. Metro after she was born; her two younger brothers came home on the New York City Subway. For all three of them, the subway has been an almost daily part of life their entire lives. They got a much earlier start than I did: my first ride on a subway was on Thursday 11 April 1996 — yes, I remember the exact date — on a trip to Montréal with my eighth-grade French class. My entire adult life I’ve never lived farther than a short walk from a train station or bus stop, and I would have it no other way. I love the breeze that precedes the arrival of a train in a station; musicians and performers (“It’s showtime!”); subway maps; getting around using a transport mode that protects the environment and promotes good urbanism; and sharing a space, if often in silence, with so many different people who look so different and come from so many different places — the subway is the great equalizer. [Thursday 9 April 2015] #GiveThanks

I’m an urbanist with a passion for helping cities be better places. I’m also a graphic designer with a knack for making publications that are informative, engaging, and beautiful. Oh, and I’m a bit of a foamer and a nerd: my goal is to ride every rail system in the United States and Canada, travel all 1,380 miles of passenger rail currently in regular service in the New York City region, and visit every state capitol.
