Extra! Extra! Read all about the Upper West Side.
A handful of limited-edition West Side Rag print newspapers are on display at a neighborhood coffee shop.
The Rag handed out more than 100 of these papers outside the West 72nd Street and Broadway train station on Wednesday morning, but you can still get your hands on Volume 1 of our print edition if you can identify the coffee shop in the photo above.
The only hint we’ll give is that the shop is located in the 70s.
Please don’t give the location away in the comments, but let us know if you get your hands on one!
The Rag plans to make the print edition version a bit more of a common occurrence, so stay tuned on that front!

I think the print edition is a great idea. I believe the Onion is doing well with print
The Onion started with print. They are doing it again?
Yes!
wow! so cool!😀👏
Great idea to hand out copies outside the 72nd St subway station. I’m all in favor of a periodic print edition!
Got one this morning! Won’t say the coffee shop, but its very runner-friendly 🙂
WSR needs to hire some newsies to get this papers out!
Identify the coffee shop in the photo above. T he only hint we’ll give is that the shop is located in the 70s.
Great, next time offer an easier clue like “we won’t say who this person is but they’re a Democrat living on the UWS”
ha ha
Very glad to know about this as so many of my neighbors are not aware that you exist. Please distribute at 86th and Broadway too. More Upper West Siders need to know what’s going on in our community.
+ 96th and Broadway!
I am delighted to see a print version of the WSR. And I hope it’s on recycled newsprint.
Will there eventually be a paperboy/girl? Love that it will be in print.
Please, more of this! What a gift for those of us with “digital fatigue”. Along with handwritten letters, vinyl records and film cameras. Technology makes things more convenient, not better. (as I type this comment on my laptop, Lol!)
Distribute in Philadelphia, too.
I have a 92-year-old friend at The Normandy whom I call every night from here in Maryland, and part of our call is that I read the West Side Rag to her ❤️
I would absolutely love to find a way to get a printed copy into her hands sometime. It would mean so much to her and to me!
