You Crave the Ink-Stained Fingers? A Guide to Consuming The New York Times (The Old-Fashioned Way)
Let's face it, folks. In a world of glowing rectangles and newsfeeds faster than a squirrel on espresso, there's something undeniably satisfying about a physical newspaper. The crisp rustle, the inky scent (it's a thing, I swear!), the smug superiority you feel on the subway because, well, you're an intellectual giant clutching the paper of record.
But where, oh where, do you get your hands on this relic of a bygone era (not that bygone, it's still pretty darned good)? Fear not, for I, your friendly neighborhood newspaper guru, am here to illuminate the path!
