The Periodical Table (and Self-Promo)
This place on Broadway at Broome is maybe the best magazine store in New York. You can also get coffee, a sandwich, a piece of cake, or a Vitamin Water. I'll bet they sell more copies of GQ than just about anybody, including all those other editions from the UK, Germany, Korea, etc. You can read Style Guy in the German and South African editions here.
They have just about any periodical you might want, including such rarities as Me Magazine, and real-deal music magazines like The Wire. They also stock all the rare, groovy fashion magazines, and I can't believe how many of them there are. I have a really good piece on the "wigger" phenomenon in the new 10 magazine, and an interview with artist Christopher Wool and a piece about Senegal in the new Purple Fashion, which has Vincent Gallo on the cover. (Inside is Vincent modeling the best of the season's women's couture, bearded.)
There's a really good interview with Gore Vidal by me in the new Another Magazine—Vidal's new memoir, Point-to-Point Navigation, is out very soon. There is also a fascinating story on Vidal in the newly redesigned L'Uomo Vogue, where you'll also find a piece by me on my old pal Jean-Paul Goude (and the English translations are back!). This is also a place you can buy one of the world's most expensive magazines, Self Service. The new one will be out soon with my big Tom Sachs interview.
Universal News also has Internet access, so if yours is down you can always check in with me here on my… Oh, I hate the word "blog," my electronic diary.
