newspaper kiosks

Sidewalk press booths

Newspaper kiosks are small stands or booths, typically on sidewalks or in transit stations, where newspapers, magazines, and often snacks or cigarettes are sold.

Once ubiquitous in cities, they've declined with print media: The old newspaper kiosk on the corner finally closed last year.
