View of the World from 9th Avenue is a classic map/illustration showing how New Yorkers see the rest of the world. Designed by Saul Steinberg, it was first published as the cover for the March 29, 1976, edition of The New Yorker. This was REALITY for my family, and I am thinking less so now that the Internet is here, not sure. We left NY when this was published. Right now, it is full circle, the current Mayor is a reincarnation of Mayor Dinkens, and the City is again filled with garbage like the 1970's. The bottom is not there yet, but no matter what, a New Yorker rides out all storms with knowledge that there is no place like it in the world...
