I'll second the store on the south of Bryant Park--it targets the fashion industry & has a number of magazines you're not likely to find elsewhere. You might also want to try magazine stores & stands on/near 7th & 8th in the Fashion District, around FIT & Parsons.

Speaking of Douglas Hofstadter, you might want to consider reading his most recent book, I am a Strange Loop, his meditation on self, memory and meaning after the death of his wife.
