One day, while doing his normal commute to work on the San Diego trolley, graphic designer Robert Palmer realized that he could do better - with the trolley maps, that is.

Blue train: a day to pack up my East Village digs and a day to move to Harlem. It’s been like Korsakov’s “Flight of the Bumble-Bee,” in a jazzy sort of way.

This was his first time in NYC, but only stayed for two days so I had to cut the fluff when showing him around. This is where we ended up going.
