The Village Voice is great if you're looking for something to do on a Friday or Saturday night. You can find just about any type of entertainment of interest. It's one of the more hip newspapers if you're looking to read some unconventional news and non news related stories. It's also a good paper if you're interested in reading about political and social issues that are not always necessarily reported in large media outlets. This may well be one of the last of the Mohicans when it comes to good independent journalism that never seems to mind taking it on the chin when it comes to reporting news that may well be regarded as offensive to some people; especially if the story is about them. Yes, this newspaper is also well known for people placing personal ads along with all the sex ads as well. However, it's a great paper that also covers a wide rang of topics, and it's written for people who enjoy reading stories from time to time that never make it into the major newspaper outlets.
