New York City has a large population of francophiles and many tourists from
France, so there are French magazines and newspapers at many newstands.
This is especially true in Soho, Greenwich Village, and the Upper East
Side.  The following stand out:

Very large selection of books in French and Spanish, from the sublime to
trash.  At the Rockefeller center store, some recordings, magazines, and
newspapers.  Dictionaries of all type and description, e.g., technical,
business, pictoral, and french to other languages than english.  There are
more dictionaries at the 19th St. store.  Fairly expensive.  Staff is
helpful and usually speak French (or Spanish).

and newspapers from all over the world and the United States.  If you're
looking for a major paper or magazine from Europe, North America, or South
America, this is the store for you.  If you don't see it, ask: many

they arrive.
