The New Yorker: Weekly Dose of Wit, Not a Delivery of Domino's (Unless That's Your Vibe)
Ever felt that pang of "wait, is it Tuesday already?" because you're jonesing for your weekly dose of cartoons that make you snort milk out of your nose and articles that leave you feeling like you just had a deep conversation at a fancy dinner party? Well, fret no more, friend! Here's the lowdown on when to snag your copy of The New Yorker and become a beacon of cultural... well, awareness, at least.

It's a Digital World, Baby: The New Yorker Online
In this age of instant gratification (and avoiding pants in public places), The New Yorker hits the digital newsstands late Sunday night or early Monday morning. So, if you're an early bird (or a night owl who refuses to acknowledge the concept of sleep), you can get your fix of witty captions and political commentary right at your fingertips.
But I Like the Crinkly Paper and That New-Book Smell (Don't Judge)
For those of us who enjoy the tactile sensation of crinkly pages and that intoxicating scent of a fresh magazine (seriously, is there anything better?), The New Yorker arrives in physical mailboxes usually on Tuesdays. Though, depending on your mail carrier's enthusiasm (or lack thereof) for sprinting through neighborhoods, it might show up on Wednesday. We all know Wednesdays can be a bit rough, so a surprise New Yorker is basically a superhero in disguise, delivering a much-needed dose of wit to your weary Wednesday.
Pro Tip: If you're a print subscriber and your New Yorker isn't there by Wednesday afternoon, don't panic! Mail delivery can be a fickle beast. Give it a day or two before channeling your inner postal detective.
QuickTip: Skim for bold or italicized words.
So, Basically...
- Digital ninjas: The New Yorker hits the web late Sunday night/early Monday morning.
- Analog aficionados: Look for it in your mailbox usually on Tuesdays, with a chance of a Wednesday cameo.
