TIME History Media See the Most Memorable New Yorker Covers Over 90 Years The magazine, known for iconic and controversial covers, celebrates its 90th anniversary this February
There are few magazine-world traditions as instantly recognizable as the cover of the New Yorker, a space thats only grown in prestige the further it moves from the actual contents of the magazine.
Most magazines use their covers to advertise a particular story within the issue, but the New Yorkerwhich is celebrating its 90th anniversary this week with nine different coversuses its often-jokey covers to promote a general sensibility: Tuned-in but as often as not divorced from the news cycle, witty in an often absurd way, self-consciously erudite.
From the magazines first cover, which featured the foppish mascot Eustace B. Tilley, through editor Tina Browns announcing her buzzy presence with a cover depicting a Hasidic man kissing a black woman amidst racial tensions in Brooklyns Crown Heights, on to the recent era of sharply critical engagement with stereotypes around the Obamas and the misdeeds of Anthony Weiner and Chris Christie, the magazines cover has crystallized both the news and something more ineffable: The culture.
Here are some of the most memorable moments of artistic greatness from the New Yorkers history.

There is no peace in the Mideast or Midtown.
A Jewish kosher-food purveyor says hes being prevented from settling in the heart of Manhattan by the halal mafia.
Yisroel Mordowitz insists he just wants to peacefully peddle sandwiches piled high with brisket or pastrami from his Holy Rollers cart in the lucrative Rockefeller Center area, 48th Street off Sixth Avenue.
But a group of irate Egyptian competitors block the kosher vendor from setting up on the sidewalk, literally squatting on the curb or placing umbrellas and beverage cartons to cordon off the space.
This guy is hungry hungry for money, bellowed 48th Street Sabrett-slinger Mohamed Mossad, who along with nearly a dozen others successfully kept Mordowitz off the block. I have a family, too!
Why doesnt he go to 47th Street? Mossad shouted, referring to the Hasidim-heavy Diamond District. Hes just coming to this particular spot, and he wants to grab it from me and kill me, actually. Kill my business.
The Holy Rollers adhere to strict kosher guidelines, and their Muslim rivals sell halal food prepared in accordance with Islamic law. For both, pork is a no-no, but there are differences in how meat must be slaughtered and prepped.
Escalating tensions so concerned Avram Wolpin, the mashgiach or on-site supervisor who certifies food as kosher that he feared a veritable falafel fatwa. He told Mordowitz he was worried he would disappear.
After two unsuccessful attempts to work on Sixth, Mordowitz made his exodus southwestward to 35th Street and Ninth Avenue, near B&H Photo, the Hasidic-run electronics megastore.
I thought I could bring peace to Midtown, lamented Mordowitz, 30, of Queens. Im not an enemy Im a friend.

So your children can understand, too.
Don Drapers gray suit and trademark fedora are headed to the Smithsonian. As part of an ambitious slate of cultural commemorations tied to the end of Mad Men, Vulture has learned that the Smithsonians Museum of American History will add Dons familiar fashion statements plus his much-used office bar cart to its permanent collection. In a ceremony planned for March 27, series creator Matthew Weiner will also donate a copy of the script for season-one finale The Wheel, including a never-filmed alternate ending. The Smithsonian enshrinement is one of several exhibits, events, and screeningsAMC and Mad Men producer Lionsgate have organized as part of an effort to both market the Mad Men farewell season (which kicks off April 5) and position the show for a long and prosperous pop-culture afterlife. A television series unlike any other deserves a send-off unlike any other, AMC president Charlie Collier said in a press release announcing the networks plans, whichinclude big events at seven different New York museums and organizations and at least one major exhibit in Los Angeles. Heres whats planned so far:
On March 14, New Yorks Museum of the Moving Image launches Matthew Weiners Mad Men, a three-month installment consisting of re-creations of sets from the show, more than two dozen costumes, and hundreds of props, video clips, and personal notes and research material. Therell also be a look inside the Mad Men writers room and video interviews with Weiner about his process. The museum is also launching a ten-film screening series called Required Viewing: Mad Mens Movie Influences, with Weiner-selected titles such as Les Bonnes Femmes and The Apartment. And on March 20, MoMI will host "An Evening With Matthew Weiner," a live Q&A with the producer and an as-yet-named moderator.
The Los Angeles County Museum of Art is hosting a two-day series (March 2627) in which Weiner and select cast members will screen their favorite episodes of the show and then discuss them with Elvis Mitchell.
Weiner and cast members Jon Hamm, January Jones, Christina Hendricks, John Slattery, and Vincent Kartheiser will gather at New Yorks Alice Tully Hall on March 21 for the Film Society of Lincoln Centersponsored "Mad Men: The End of an Era," in which those assembled will discuss their favorite scenes from the shows seven seasons. FSLC will host a free, two-day screening series of essential episodes of the show, as chosen by Weiner.
The Brooklyn Academy of Musics BAMcinmatek offers Mad Men at the Movies, a two-day festival (April 2223) of films that inspired the show. Weiner or a cast member will be on hand for postshow discussions of the chosen films.
Weiner will speak at the Museum of Jewish Heritage on March 29 (as part of the museums Designing Home: Jews and Midcentury Modernism") and at a public program at the 92nd Street Y on April 28.
The New York Public Library will host a Mad Menthemed edition of its Live From the NYPL ticketed event series a few days after the shows May finale. Its also launching the Mad Men Reading List, an assortment of 25 titles given shout-outs during the shows run.
