ROSALIND FOX SOLOMON’S NEW YORK

Julian Rose • Taking Flight

The Alchemist • Since the early 1980s, Jamel Shabazz has captured the energy of street life and hip-hop culture in New York. During quarantine, he organized his vast archive, uncovering indelible images of joy, style, and community.

Michael Schulman • The Audience

Irina Rozovsky • In Plain Air

Alan Michelson • Sky Boys

Ari Marcopoulos • Pandemonium

Darryl Pinckney • Home to Harlem

On the Town • The “New York issue” is a publishing tradition. By assembling visionary designers, photographers, and writers, magazines have sought to convey—and pay tribute to—the city’s kinetic creativity.

Life and Death in an American City • Philip Montgomery in Conversation with Kathy Ryan

Brian Wallis False Comfort

Adam Pape The Roses

Farah Al Qasimi Queens Main Street

Thessaly La Force Crazy City

Widline Cadet Absence Persists

Roe Ethridge Fugitive Sunset

Endnote Fran Lebowitz • Fran Lebowitz is perhaps New York’s most satisfyingly disapproving voice. Her wit and piercing social observation have made her one of the city’s singular figures—she is her own institution of fiercely held opinions. She would run for mayor, if only the job didn’t require early mornings. She’d prefer to be the city’s “night mayor.”
