The New Yorker: 90 for 90

Venerable magazine and institution (whose subscription department once sent Marge Simpson a rejection letter, lol) celebrates its 90th birthday this year.  Various versions of the ever-present Eustace Tilley, that monocled aristocrat that has solidified the brand since 1925, is expressed by a host of new and returning cover artists for this issue.

How to be a Proper New Yorker: Tip No.1

Talk to Strangers 

A chat on the crosswalk
or restroom line small talk
can turn your gray day ok

A cafe greeting
can become a wonderful meeting

Your day may even end
with a completely new friend

Don’t Talk to Strange Strangers

If you smell body odor from afar
if you see bare feet in the wrong season
if you can find an empty subway car
know that there’s a reason
