A neat pictorial essay on the NY subway system

This list of illustrations in the NYT, a father and his sons' journey on the NYC subway system is captivating....some examples...


"People often ask me for directions in the subway. Even though I know my way around rather well, I still have to defer to Arthur very often. Yet it seems people don’t trust the advice of a preschooler. They should."
"Arthur knows the map so well that when he got his first pair of subway-map socks, he pointed out with a chuckle that it had the Q still running as an orange line."

"They see everything through a subway lens. When they fight about who gets which cup for their apple juice, they don’t refer to them by color."
