In this long-awaited conclusion to Adrian Tomine's three-part epic, the story leaps across the country, taking place entirely in New York. All of protagonist Ben Tanaka's worst (and most amusing) traits are brought to the fore as his obsessive quest reaches a fever pitch. His best friend, Alice Kim, finds herself at an unexpected crossroads in her life, forcing her to make several life-altering decisions. But whatever happened to Ben's girlfriend, Miko Hayashi? That and many other answers are revealed as our protagonists walk and talk their way through the streets of Brooklyn and Manhattan, all delineated in Tomine's evocatively pristine style.

The Bay Area definitely has a mist about it. This loose-knit group of cities is probably the most beautiful metropolitan area in the US. Not probably, it is the most beautiful, with the best produce and the best tacos. It's no surprise that it's really expensive. I took all the major cities and towns surrounding this massive body of water and spun it into a simple graphic diagram.

Why Circles?

Circles are the simplest shape for our eyes and brain to understand. When faced with a swathe of circles, we're not as overwhelmed by the information. It's easy to look at, and easy to read.

Neighborhoods don't have corners: When you're in-between three different neighborhoods, which neighborhood are you in? There are no-man's lands all over a city.

Not only do circles create a contained space, but they also imply entire worldliness. In old times, a village was often mapped in a circle, which was probably the whole world to its inhabitants.

From Our friend Archie

There are so many ways to look at America's Favorite Drug® that we decoded the intricacies for the enlightenment of amateur and professional coffee snobs. My design collaborator David Hennessy and I chatted exhaustively about it, finally carving out this composition.

Espresso began as a way to brew individual coffee on-demand...not necessarily to create expensive and highfalutin coffee drinks.But of course, that's where it led, so we cleared up the differences between a Latte, Cappuccino and Flat White.

We also took stock of the most popular/effective/cosmopolitan methods of brewing coffee from Turkish to Vietnamese to Irish. I have recently become enamored with the AeroPress, a sort of manual espresso-French Press hybrid that is particularly useful on camping trips, and when your boyfriend is out of town.

From Our friend Archie

Pizza is the most beloved food in America, and likely the world. However, it often means different things to different people. When my family moved to Rhode Island (a mere 45 minutes from our home in Massachusetts), we encountered a totally bizarro form of pizza that is known only in Rhode Island: The Pizza Strip. Every single birthday, Bar Mitzvah and board meeting has these things. It's a thick piece of focaccia bread smothered with sweet and salty tomato sauce, no visible cheese and cut into strips. It's served cold, and leaves a visible residue of grease on anything it touches. Is this pizza? 7 year-old me didn't think so, but I was told it was pizza enough times that now I think it counts. There aren't many restaurants that sell this style, but every Rhode Island bakery will have some version of it.

We included a few chain pizzas because they are so ubiquitous throughout the country that their flavor defies any other style.

It's also a gimme, since the map itself is shaped like a pizza.
