...distinctly modern species, the hipster as a genus has its roots in the 1930s and '40s. The name itself was coined after the jazz age, when hip arose to describe aficionados of the growing scene. The word's origins are disputed - some say it was a derivative of "hop," a slang term for opium, while others think it comes from the West African word hipi, meaning to open one's eyes. But gradually it morphed into a noun, and the "hipster" was born...

Many residents of newark, N.J., long one of America's most troubled cities and favorite punch lines, would love to hop on the next bus down the Turnpike and never look back. Sure, the city has made strides since its devastating race riots in 1967 - there's a sparkling-new downtown arena, some bright residential complexes, the gestation of a hipster scene. But Newark is still a drug-infested, poverty-stricken place where rubble piles up on Park Avenue and the shabby Hotel Riviera sits across the street from an auto-parts joint, around the corner from an abandoned five...

...player, broadcaster I'd start my day at the Art of Tea, tel: (44-161) 448 9323, a little café cum bookshop with comfy furniture and a great travel section, before heading to Shlurp!, tel: (44-161) 839 5199, for a lovely fresh salad or soup on the hop - they make everything in-house. Then I'd head to the Manchester Art Gallery, tel: (44-161) 235 8888, as there's always something exciting going on. For dinner, it would have to be Michael Caines - the Michelin-starred chef, not the actor - at the ABode Hotel...

...wrock is punk wrock. There's plenty of stylistic diversity in the scene, which ranges from the electric girl pop of the Parselmouths to the darkly gleaming hip-hop of Swish and Flick. But if you're trying to get your head around wizard rock, punk is a good place to start. Like punk, this is a subculture in which the fundamental poles of popular culture, cool and uncool, have no meaning. Nerds tend to be very comfortable with powerful, unironized emotion--Harry and the Potters' 2008 tour was titled Unlimited Enthusiasm. As the poet said, they're too busy...

...cheeseburgers? Bagels with cream cheese? Felipe's burritos? You name it, we've fantasized about it. In fact, it's gotten to the point where I had a dream the other night about a chocolate shop. While we're in the city on our weekends off, us internationals hop from Western establishment to Western establishment, in search of the perfect solution to our culinary cravings. It's hard to find; Cream cheese and chocolate just don't taste the same in Africa. I know that when I get back to my village on Sundays, I will be met with...
