Here's a gift article of the 25 best magazine covers of all time. Several New Yorker covers made the list.

Thank you for that, Lee! I remember some of them. A few are really classic (I think the Saul Steinberg view of NYC may be my favorite). A few I missed at the time, like the Cosby one and the plastic-in-the-ocean one.

The 25 famous photos story linked at the end of the magazine cover piece is good, too. Many are sad or depressing, though.

Another cover I liked some years ago showed New York divided up like Central Asian countries, with fake Central-Asian-sounding names. For example, the Chelsea area of Manhattan was dubbed Gaymenistan,
