Seeing Things: Magazine Café
For all the talk about the death of print, some of the world’s most imaginative imagery can be found in the pages of magazines. For proof, look no further than Magazine Café, a midtown Manhattan destination (and, lucky us, an equally comprehensive website magazinecafestore.com) where the visually obsessed can spend hours poring over some 10,000 domestic and international titles—more than 400 in the women’s fashion category alone. Love, i-D, and Carine Roitfeld’s CR Fashion Book are all here, of course, as is every edition of Elle, Vogue, Marie Claire, Glamour, and Harper’s Bazaar, plus a slew of esoteric finds, from German streetwear mag High Snobiety to Egg, which celebrates the blonde-wigged teens of Japan’s gyaru style tribe. Back issues are a specialty. Bonus: Magazine Café also offers subscriptions.
