Pictured from Left to Right: Mikhail Prokhorov, Michael Bloomberg, Jay-Z Q: What do a Russian oligarch billionaire, the mayor of New York City, and the best rapper alive have in common? A: Breakfast. There needs to be an oil painting of this up at the MoMA, or at least in my living room. Not pictured is real estate developer Bruce Ratner, who also broke bread and discussed the Nets with Bloomberg. The team’s big move to Brooklyn, the NBA’s shift to accepting a global economy, eminent domain, and the courtship of Lebron James all make me feel like writing an update to my post at Free Darko last year on basketball and architecture.

Momofuku Noodle Bar. I had lunch there. Pork Bun was the truth. Ramen was a bit salty for my liking today, but still quite tasty. Great food, great friends. Fun times.
