I read the regular collumns, such as Cecil Adams' "The Straight Dope", which deals with scientific and historical questions, "The Howie Chronicals", which was a very interesting weekly column written by a family man from New Jersey who detailed his weelky visits to a psychiatrist, "Slackjaw", written by Jim Knifel, who has an interesting book by the same name, which I recently ran across in my local public library.
He's a nearly blind guy from Greenbay, Wisconsin who won't accept any state aid, it seems, and who is a fantastic writer. There have been many others along the way.
New York Press was a really fun and interesting read for many years.
