L Magazine
''The L Magazine'' was a free bi-weekly magazine in New York City featuring investigative articles, arts and culture commentary, and event listings. It was available through distribution in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, and Hoboken. History ''The L Magazine'' was created in 2003 by brothers Scott and Daniel Stedman and editor Jonny Diamond in Dumbo, Brooklyn. The brothers named it for the L train, a subway line that connects Brooklyn to Manhattan. It ceased publication in July 2015, with resources shifted to sister publication ''Brooklyn Magazine''. The Boxing Match ''The L's'' launch coincided with that of ''New York Sports Express'', an offshoot of New York Press.

It was released in Austria and Germany in 2011 and in the United States in 2012. Critical reception Manohla Dargis of '' The New York Times'' called ''Abendland'' a "visually precise and politically amorphous" portrait of an imagined community: "The overall impression is a vision of Europe as a mosaic, as an artful amalgam of perfectly framed, seemingly disconnected moments during a long shared night, give or take a time zone change or two." Nick Pinkerton, reviewing for '' The Village Voice'', describes the documentary, "The film's principal subjects are the eurozone's service and security industries, showing a continent busy saving its citizens from themselves." Pinkerton compared ''Abendland'' to the works of other Austrian directors Ulrich Seidl and Michael Glawogger Michael Glawogger (3 December 1959 – ...
