In my first interview at DNAinfo.com, I said I wanted to do a series of profiles of interesting New Yorkers. Months later, we hired Elizabeth Ladzinski, who is a very talented photographer and videographer. She spent the next six months shooting, interviewing, editing and creating these wonderful stories.

It took almost two years, but the series is finally live. After some cuts, there are 10 blocks and 49 stories to enjoy.

After 10 new spots became available for food vendors in Central Park, one of DNAinfo’s reporters approached me and wanted to put together a map showing the price differences for different locations. Bids for a small slice of sidewalk on the southeast corner of the park across from the Plaza Hotel [...]

This is an updated version of a graph I made in the spring of 2010 after the NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene began capturing and vaccinating raccoons against rabies. I realized we were approaching the anniversary date the health department began the program, so I thought we should do a follow-up. We found [...]

As Valentine’s Day approached, I began building this “date calculator,” which became very complicated very fast. One of the DNAinfo reporters put together a spreadsheet of over 100 different date ideas, and I began to figure out how to match those dates to three questions the reader would answer to determine their best date option.
