Thanks to Dennis for adding Congress Hall to the list of places to purchase the New York Times in the morning. Any others we're missing? This story shows where key locations are to buy the New York Times newspaper. This can be a big help when you're in town and one pace may run out. Plus there's a simple map showing locations of paper machines from around town.

I love reading my morning USA Today and New York Times (in addition to local papers). It's a ritual that starts the day. When traveling to a new town, it can be helpful to know where to pick up your trsuted daily pulp standbys. Every time a Cape May visitor sees me reading and asks where they can get a Times, I've wondered why there's not an online summary. So capemayX.com compiled a simple list of Cape May paper delivery locations to make you feel right at home with your morning reading ritual. If we've left any locations out, feel free to post additional information to the comments.

Note: the street vending machines have fairly reliable delivery schedules during the summer months, but are filled less frequently during the off season. And store delivery is typically year around. If anyone knows the official, exact yearly schedule, please email me and I'll post. Who's in cahrge of this service? I'm curious. And of course, common sense prevails. The earlier you show up, the better chance to get your paper of choice. We've included a graphic overview map so if you're not familiar with town it's easy to see at a glance where to go.
