Pablo Picasso's Guernica is one of the most famous paintings in the world. Because Picasso never elaborated on his specific choices for the details within the painting, it is one of the most analyzed and discussed paintings as well. In this short video from New York Magainze, watch as an art critic helps passersby in the New York City subway explore the painting.

So our art critic, Jerry Saltz, took a replica of Guernica underground, in the hopes of learning what New Yorkers make of it and helping them understand the work.

In this recent profile video from BRIC TV, meet a man living in New York City who is a Tasker with TaskRabbit, a service which allows you to hire people for any task you can imagine. Interestingly, the typical person who holds this job is far more educated than you would expect.

Side-gigs are considered par for the course in the New York hustle, but what does it say about how we value different kinds of labor? 70% of TaskRabbit Taskers hold a Bachelor's degree, and 20% have their Masters. Meet one Tasker and animator trying to strike the balance between making ends meet and reaching for his dreams.

When Anthony Bourdain visited 188 Cuchifritos in the Bronx for an episode of Parts Unknown, he summed up its appeal with one simple proclamation: "I don’t know any place porkier." The old-school lunch counter specializes in Puerto Rican and Dominican cuchifritos, or fried pig parts ranging from ultra-crispy skin (chicharrón), to chewy pig ears and blood sausage. Serving the local community for more than 35 years, 188 Cuchritos offers a stark contrast to the swarms of franchises that have popped up in the neighborhood: hand-painted signs, a loyal army of regulars, and a father-son duo at the helm of the family-operated business. Here, Jose Coto and Jose Jr. tell the story of how the restaurant persevered through the decades and ultimately won Bourdain's co-sign as "the center of the pork universe."
