Best Newsstand / Magazine Store

The store’s off-the-beaten-track location at Queen and Morris doesn’t seem to slow any of you down, as Atlantic News once again wins this two-way grudge match against Blowers Street Paper Chase. The store, which has been in business for 31 years, has long been a haven for obscure and exotic publications. And if they don’t carry it? The helpful staff are ready to order it. “I think we bring the world to the city,” says employee Stephen Gerrard. 5560 Morris, 429-5468
