The New Museum has a new campaign called "Recalling 1993" and it sounds great, especially if you need to duck into a pay phone. If you go to most of the working phones in Manhattan and call 1-855-FOR-1993, you'll hear a recording of someone -- often a notable New Yorker -- telling a story about what the neighborhood you're calling from was like in 1993. There's one involving James St. James and a murderer that we'd really like to hear. And here's an interactive map with all of the participating phones. [via GalleristNY]

Who knew? [via Gawker]

8. In 1975, TIME offered Lily Tomlin a cover if she came out in the issue. She told Entertainment Weekly, "I was a bit insulted that they thought I'd trade my personal life for the cover of TIME. It's probably just as well. Being such a big TV personality at that time, it probably would have been tsunami-like." [via Greg in Hollywood]
