I like AM New York. The layout is much nicer!

It's a no-brainer for me, since AMNY is the only one available where I live. It's also "fluffy" enough that I can read all the articles, complete the crossword and (if I'm lucky) finish the Sudoku all by the time I arrive at school .....

AMNY is good subway reading. I never cared much for metro.

LOL, AM New York is the only one available near my home too, but I can catch the Metro when I get off the train in Manhattan. I feel bad with the Metro givers or whatever you call them. I always snub Metro and go for AM NY. My coworkers prefer AM NY too!

They stopped giving them out around my way, so I don't get either.

For some reason I always gravitate toward AM NY too. I think Metro copied AM NY's idea, so we saw AM first and got used to it. They often have the same AP articles, but the layout IS better.

the Metro... the only reason being that their crossword is usually somewhat challenging, while AM's crossword I can usually complete in two minutes. Out of all the free papers, the Onion is really the only one I actually read on a regular basis

AMNY here, much easier to read quickly. But in terms of covering sports, I really wonder how that will change once ownership changes to the Dolans.

AM is the better one of the two.

To me they are both equally bad....the grammar and sentence structure is equivalent to a HS newspaper..and that is pretty much, mentally, their target market. I will stick with the Wall Street Journal...99% of the other papers are all biased, celebrity obsessed, media-hyped tabloid garbage passing itself off as "news."
