    One of my friends already told me about this place and I do not regret that I found this article.

    How refreshing to read an account of the classic American migration from small town to metropole that does not pose them in moral or cultural opposition. That he avoids these shopworn polarities demonstrates the capacity of creative individuals to make the most of their aesthetic lives with whatever resources lie closest to hand.

    Very interesting podcast. I liked how Teachout described New York as a "cafeteria of culture."
