Harbor News

Closed as of 2009, unfortunately.

I moved from Baltimore to DC in early 2007. One of the saddest shops for me to leave behind was my beloved Harbor News. I went there right after reading about their opening in the newspaper, mainly because I am international magazine and newspaper slut. When I travel, I have to refrain myself from buying a lot of magazines because they are so heavy to carry home, and then I never, ever want to throw them away. Yes, I have a problem and I’m aware of it!
When I first visited the shop in ’06, I was really into the British music magazine NME. They weren’t currently carrying it, but when I asked, I was told that they would request the magazine and to check back in two weeks. I did, and there it was! I went there just about every week to indulge in my music magazine fix, and to look over the fashion and design magazines from all over the globe.
I definitley try to visit when I’m back in town, and if you’re in the area or visiting, it is a definite must-​see if you’re a magazine junkie like me!
