CURBYs tend to live in urban enclaves--areas like Red Hook, Silver Lake and Wicker Park, where they have proximity to the collision of high art and pop culture that takes place in major cities (New York, Los Angeles and Chicago, respectively). But by living across a river or in a formerly industrial neighborhood, they find the cheaper rent and supportive, small-town feel that make working as an artist doable. "It's like this handy Petri dish of culture," says Kirsten Hively, who founded wburg.com a website about Williamsburg...

...candy-colored concoction with how-tos for grassroots activism, like starting an online petition, and links to eco-friendly companies and products.

If the reported 500-plus waitlist is a turnoff, no need to leave the neighborhood: Eric Goode and Sean MacPherson--of The Park restaurant--have opened the porthole-punctuated Maritime Hotel on Ninth Avenue at 16th Street.

But experts like Park have good reason to be nervous about the economic ramifications if Kim were to fall and the two Koreas were to move toward reunification. North Korea's gross national product is less than 4% the size of the South's. The North needs basic roads and power plants, new technology and factories, and food and jobs for an estimated 23 million starving citizens.
