And Felker hired Milton Glaser/Push Pin Studios to design it. They changed the way magazines looked worldwide. But did it really do that much 'starf**king,' Lexiphane? Saturday Night Fever came from a NYM article for example; no stars there--lifestyle certainly.

Clay Felker formed New York Mag in '68 as one of the original glossies for urbanophiles less interested in news and literature (think The New Yorker) and more interested in starf**king and lifestyle porn. After 40 years, none of its bullshit should come as a surprise.

These kinds of articles make me hate NY Magazine. Reminiscent of its presumptions that every parent in NYC is part of the pre-pre-pre-pre K admissions "craze."

When you're paid as much as the editor of New York Magazine, Adam Moss, is, then you think that nearly $4,ooo.oo is reasonable for livingroom furniture. (And NYM used to be the Sunday color insert for a now defunct newspaper, not a glossy high-priced star-chasing rag.)

Man, now I can't WAIT to subscribe to the magazine.

I agree on the living room on a budget article - like I'd really pay $800 for a living room rug when my rent is $600.

They're trying to landmark those THREE buildings. Craziness. More than getting rid of that bar/deli, I'd love to see the Remy Lounge go. There's a major riot/fight outside that place every night it's open and the owner is a sleaze. That part of Greenwich is truly the Street That Time Forgot.

Seconded, Christy. Sounds like a place where only criminals hang out. your Cops, drug dealers, wall street dealers, white trash LI construction workers, racists, pimps, whores, perverts and cattle rustlers. Oh, and can you believe they are trying to Landmark that building? Just demolish it, please.

That dive bar? It's down the street from me and it's a pretty scary place. I mean that in a real way, not a Siberia way. If that article prompts your average Manhattan dive bar hopper to go there, someone is going to get hurt. Bet on it.

How can one accidentally shoot a person? Either the off duty cop had the gun in his holster or he took it out and pulled the trigger.

I love that a tight budget for New York mag is almost $4,000. Excuse me, but $500 is a tight budget. I imagine there are some readers of New York who can afford the lifestyle is sells, but I don't know any of them!
