NO official MTA map is any good for relating trains to surface streets, for that I am completely dependent on the gmaps hack at http://www.onnyturf.com/subway/. But the columbia.edu map is WAY less embarrassing looking than the new MTA one.

It's cheaper and cleaner than anything on the MTA, for sure, but unlimited cards kind of negate the first. I guess if you're going from the West Vil to Herald Sq it's your favorite train?

The theme of Google’s Chelsea offices is “urban parks” — so there is a lot of exposed brick, dirty windows (with signs saying they are left dirty on purpose), graffiti font, metal and AstroTurf-ish grass. Blackboards, complimenting white boards, allow Googlers to scribble and be creative to their hearts content (but no photos, please.)

i've seen the new nyc logo on a bunch of forms. i'd thought it was only for building department related letters, though, which kind of made more sense. i think it's ok.
what's something good and new yorky i can do? i moved here like a month or two ago and i'm sat around at home not doing anything and wishing to utilise my sunday.

morgan library sounds interesting; i popped to moma on a free friday a week or so ago.
the milk bar looks super, but i know that i'd go in, ask for something without sugar and be greeted with the sound of a smashed plate, the piano slamming shut etc. someone else will have to do some research. on the subject of ilx ny hotspots, i might pop to tom's in brooklyn someday.

This sounds kind of funny. I'd want to go see this show:
Endangered Species in Gentrifying Brooklynhttp://www.nytimes.com/2008/11/24/theater/reviews/24taki.html?8dpc
By BEN BRANTLEYPublished: November 24, 2008Marion is, by her description, “a big black woman,” and hardly a retiring type. But when she walks into the new French café in her neighborhood — a place dominated by thin, pale, chic people — nobody sees her. It’s not that she’s being ignored, she says; it’s that “I don’t exist.” In Williamsburg, Brooklyn, her longtime neighborhood, she has become an invisible woman.
On the other hand, theatergoers who attend “Taking Over,” the fiery polemical portrait gallery of a play that opened Sunday night at the Public Theater, will find Marion impossible to overlook and hard to forget. She is embodied by a big white guy named Danny Hoch, the play’s author and sole performer.
Mr. Hoch a specialist in placing invisible people in the line of vision of folks who might otherwise never see them. Marion has too much pride to yell, “Look at me!,” but her creator is happy to raise his voice — loudly and raucously — on her behalf, by bringing her and her spiritual kin into being. The extravagantly talented Mr. Hoch has been channeling the restless souls of the dispossessed and the marginalized since the early 1990s, becoming a boiling one-man melting pot in shows like “Some People” and “Jails, Hospitals and Hip-Hop.” Now he is insisting that attention be paid to the endangered species to which Marion belongs.
That’s the hard-core group of New Yorkers in Williamsburg, of varying ethnicity and slender means, who have come under siege from a growing army of upper-middle-class invaders. In the segment that begins the show, set during a Community Day celebration, an angry young man of Polish and Puerto Rican descent named Robert takes microphone in hand to denounce the “yuppie alternative-rocker, post-punk white people — and black people too,” who are effectively running him and his family out of town. “Why are you here?” he screams into the audience. “Nobody wants you here!”

Hoch is quite a chameleon... but once when I saw him open in Central Park for Gil Scott Heron, the crowd was booing his transracial portrayals til GSH came onstage and intervened.

What are some ways people have found success finding roommates? I've had a few friends of friends type leads but it's all come up short - I'm finding I'm pretty picky. Sadly.
