After a rather vanity riddled start to the Metrotwin 15 – a new feature where we ask fifteen deep, probing questions of extreme significance to some of our contributors – it seemed only right that the second subject for interrogation should be Harper, our Noo Yoik editor.

Name: Harper B Reitkopf

Profession: New Business Coordinator by day, culture junkie by night

Neighborhood: Boerum Hill, Brooklyn, ya name it? we got it.

Favorite smell: Chinatown in the dead of summer. Also the Chelsea Market, after hours, when only the bakers are locked in baking for morning rush.

Pop fact: Micheal Jackson’s Thriller was filmed on my corner and at my subway stop.

Law and Order or The Bill? I need to buy a TV

Items that are always in your grocery basket? Fresh veggies, Fresh fruit, kimchee and cookies.

Favorite building/monument/statue/tree/shrub: Hmmm…perhaps Alice in Wonderland sculpture in Central Park. This one bronze statue captures my entire childhood in a frozen moment.
