We’re putting the finishing touches on our annual travel edition that’s set to hit stands at the beginning of next month. You can expect local stories about importing rare corn breeds from Mexico, nearby locavore getaways, Spain-inspired cuisine in the West Village and more.
But it won’t be ready until we have a cover, and that’s where we need your help. See our options below, cast your vote and spread the word in support of your favorite photo. We reserve the right to make the final call, but put a lot of weight on what our readers (you) have to say.
