Truly interesting journalism

It was a package so well done that I actually felt the need to buy the entire magazine this time.

This month, from New York magazine:

• A fascinating collection of New York living spaces currently embracing a "new old" trend, from neo-Victorian to neo-British and more. You can hardly do justice to these amazing photos on the Web, but this link should get you started for some great home design ideas. My favorite? NeoVictorians, by far. Check out their olive oil holder.
  
• If you want to be sufficiently creeped out yet enjoy a fantastic piece of journalism, check out this piece on bedbugs in New York's richest sections. Great writing, great facts, great story.
• And a great essay on the essence of skyscrapers, complete with a wondrous package of photos that show the city's skyline throughout the years. The writing captures why skyscrapers are more than just tall buildings (they speak to the heart of the city and where it's going rather than being a travesty to the landscape like the many mid-level buildings that pack the city do, which attract tons of people, obscure views, and are altogether ugly). The art gives you a glimpse into the world they've make New York City become.
  

If at all possible, buy the issue. It's what a magazine should be.
