New York Magazine

New York is one of the magazines I read as soon as it arrives, and always enjoy. Although ostensibly a city magazine (and I enjoy articles, reviews, and listings about New York), it is actually a national magazine, in the way that The New Yorker is a national magazine. It publishes articles on politics, culture, art, literature, and people in the news. The "voice" of New York is quite different than that of The New Yorker: a bit more combative, "in-your-face," and sometimes snarky. I always learn something new about something different from every issue. And it is fun to read. Sometimes it borders on gossipy, and that's OK with me. I also honor the magazine for publishing the preview issue of Ms. Magazine as an insert to New York, in 1971.
