For 100 years The New Yorker magazine has chronicled the quirks, chaos, and charm of city life. Naturally, the city’s transit system has been a frequent subject, immortalized in dozens of cartoons and cover art. The New York Transit Museum has curated a selection of these iconic works in Commentary on the Commute: A Century of The New Yorker’s Transportation Cartoons, a new exhibit at our Grand Central Terminal Gallery.
Join Museum Curator Jodi Shapiro and featured artists Roz Chast and Ellis Rosen, for a look back at a century of transit commentary as seen through the unmistakable style of The New Yorker cartoons.
