I stumbled across this earlier today while walking to brunch. Little did I know this box was the only place to purchase this magazine in NYC, and the whole East Coast.
From the Sneeze website:
STREET BOX PROGRAM
The goal is to create a
destination for the reader by
having one box per city in a
select location — like a
flagship store.
More info on Sneeze can be found here with a preview of the first issue here.
The magazine can be also purchased on line here.

Soundsystem?
Check.
Any questions?

Thank you Lee and CR Blog.
