A two-shot page on One Shots. Forgive the breach from format …
This newsstand, on 7th Avenue and West 51st, is one of NYC’s classics with a hand-stenciled sign. It’s bursting with the promise of newspapers, magazines, snacks, cigs. I’m out of touch — I barely use a cell phone. Are phone cards still in wide use?
The Lorax would likely have a problem with this rather anodyne, chrome and glass CEMUSA newsstand further south closer to Times Square. Granted, it was a Sunday and it was closed, but even when opened it probably doesn’t have the bustling and busy atmosphere surrounding the classic stand.
