Jokaisesta todellisesta kulttuuripääkaupungista on tehty oma "New Yorkerinsa". Turku sai omansa muotisuunnittelija Arto Elovirran ja hänen veljensä taidegraafikko Pirkka Elovirran yhteistyöstä vuonna 1991, 20 vuotta ennen Turun kulttuuripääkaupunki vuotta 2011. Alkuperäinen The New Yorker esitettiin graafikko Saul Steinbergin piirtämänä New Yorkerin kannessa vuonna 1976 ja sen jälkeen jokainen todelllinen kulttuurikaupunki on saanut oman "New Yorkerinsa", Turku suomen ensimmäisenä.
"View of the World from 9th Avenue (sometimes A Parochial New Yorker's View of the World, A New Yorker's View of the World or simply View of the World) is a 1976 illustration by Saul Steinberg that served as the cover of the March 29, 1976, edition of The New Yorker. The work presents the view from Manhattan of the rest of the world showing Manhattan as the center of the world.
View of the World has been parodied by Columbia Pictures, The Economist, Mad, and The New Yorker itself, among others.[1] The work has been imitated and printed without authorization in a variety of ways. The Columbia parody, in the poster art for the film Moscow on the Hudson, led to a ruling by the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York in Steinberg v. Columbia Pictures Industries, Inc. in favor of Steinberg because of copyright violations by Columbia Pictures. The work is regarded as one of the greatest magazine covers of recent generations."
