Description: This New Yorker cover from June 1, 2009, captures a classic slice of New York City street life—late-night eats at a glowing hot dog cart. Silhouetted figures gather under a yellow-and-blue umbrella, while neon lights and blurred reflections hint at the buzz of Times Square in the background. It’s a scene full of flavor, energy, and urban nostalgia.
Artistic Context: Created by digital artist Jorge Colombo entirely on an iPhone using the Brushes app, this cover made history as The New Yorker’s first-ever iPhone-drawn cover. It was chosen for its fresh approach to city illustration and for how it celebrates the beauty in everyday urban rituals—like grabbing a bite from a street cart. The blurred painterly style evokes motion and memory, making it a standout piece of modern urban art.
