I didn't see any left the last time I was in New York.

Seems like all the payphones and newsstands are really gone now, e.g. https://maps.app.goo.gl/2vZUGBxvSgdpcdju6

I definitely passed a newsstand on the UWS yesterday. It was about https://www.google.com/maps/@40.7804094,-73.9817994,3a,75y,3...

A couple of newspapers on the lower shelf, no magazines. So that is basically a snack shack now. There is one on Park Ave South next to 28th Street that has magazines from right when the pandemic shutdown hit. Those covers are all bleached and looking like relics now.

Yeah that's true. At the time they did have the latest New York — with Gaiman on the cover — in a little pile. I didn't stop.
