Sean BakerSean Baker’s latest movie, Prince of Broadway has been hitting up all the film festivals. It was just at Locarno this summer and more recently at Woodstock where it was well-received. Sean shares his thoughts on his last film, “Take Out”, a story based around a Chinese Delivery man, how he came to NYC “right at the end.”, why L.A.ers all look the same, and his 3am karaoke nights in Flushing.
We decided to ask a diverse group of young movers and shakers across the city where they like to hang out. Places that are under the radar, "best kept secrets" if you will. See what they have to say

Despite yesterday’s eye-rolling, we are heartened to see that certain forms of artistic expression are still alive in the city. The latest breaking visionary: the MTA! Well, actually the 1970’s incarnation of the Metropolitan Transit Authority who so wisely tapped Massimo Vignelli to design its Studio 54-looking subway map. This month, Men’s Vogue enlisted the artist to update and publish his iconic rendering so that we may (maybe) persuade the jaunty-hatted MTA folks that lend their loudspeaker vocal stylings to our daily commutes to revamp it.
Vignelli’s map looks like a smashing rendition of neo-punk, post-classicism, realistic expressionism something that makes me wanna watch Reading Rainbow with a bowl of pixi stix. We love its primary colors and soothing, rounded edges that one can only hope means the ride from Brooklyn will be smoother, right?
