New York City a Newspaper Town

Today, NY 1, Time Warner's TV station made "New York Scenes from a Bicycle," a "Pick of the Week."

My photo exhibition @ Cornelia Street Cafe runs through March 31st. Please drop by.

Last week, I passed this 86th Street newsstand on the south side between 1st and 2nd Avenue. It reminded me of old Yorkville with every newsstand selling several daily newspapers ~ morning, afternoon and one star evening editions. Freddy Muller used to to hit the bars at 830pm selling the one star Daily News and the Mirror, made out like a bandit when a ball game was on. He bought the papers cheap, 7 cents then a dime and sold them for a quarter or better - depended on the level of alcohol consumption by the tavern regulars who all liked Freddy.

Can you name all the newspapers on the stand when you were a kid?
