I have been subscribing to the New Yorker for more than 60 years.Why stop now?It is excellent.
Rating: - New Yorker rocks and Amazon made it easy
I love THE NEW YORKER and wanted to give it as a last minute gift.It was easy and inexpensive with Amazon.This is the second subscription I've given through Amazon and will continue subscriptions through them.
Rating: - Not just for New Yorkers
This magazine has been cluttering up my living spaces for many years.One doesn't just toss these away after a quick read-there is always something to return to, whether a great cartoon, superb fiction, a wonderful essay.
I would not be without it.
Rating:  - How to be a snob?
Exactly.While the previous reviewer to use this title matched it with a full 5-star rating, I don't. If you want the most pompous view on everything no one ever asked about, then go ahead and buy a copy. I thought perhaps an informed, enlightend editorial tone would have been a nice perspective to bring into my home.Now, years later, they won't stop sending that rag no matter how many times they claim it's my final issue.
In short, not a fan. My advise to you: get one issue off the newstand and see what you think.If you're like me, you'll hate it and never go back.
Rating: - Still the finest magazine in America
Well-written, timely, erudite and down-to-earth -- no other magazine is as informative and varied in tone, or as much a pleasure to read.The "New Yorker" has a number of "beats" it covers -- contemporary politics, media, popular culture and art, humor, new fiction and a smidge of local, New York goings-on (not as much as in the old days, but the regionalism is still a delight.)Yes, other magazines cover these topics, but not in as accessible a manner.The "Atlantic" and "Harper's" tread similar paths, but they both seem overly stern and inaccessible by comparison.The "New Yorker" used to be incredibly fusty: since the magazine's 1992 facelift, courtesy of editor Tina Brown, it has a much lighter, more youthful tone.This, mixed with the erudite, well-researched, well-crafted writing, makes it one of the most rewarding reading experiences in America today.No matter what the topic, an article in the "New Yorker" will always be a shining example of language used to its best effect.Plus, I like the cartoons.
(PS - I weary of the "three F" -- fashion, food and finance -- reporting, but even if they overdo these subjects, it's still a great magazine.) (DJ Joe Sixpack)
