I've been here in NYC since early July. After talking with homies here, many were planning to wake up early to get the NY Post issue. Sorry, I wasn't waking up at 6-8am to go on a search. I wanted a couple but it wasn't that serious.
I eventually stepped out today to do errands around the lunch hour. Both spots on my street in Brooklyn doesn't carry newspapers at all (weird) and later this afternoon passing by Barclays and Times Square, all the newssstands outside and in the subway all said they were cleaned out early morning. Some by sunrise.
My first experience being in this city for a "hyped" item.
