Our newest cover story marks the first partnership between New York Magazine and our Vox Media colleagues at The Verge. It's the story of New York’s restaurant-delivery workers – many of them undocumented, and many of them exclusively Spanish-speaking – who must fend for themselves against increasingly brutal conditions and outside forces: Seamless, the local government, bike thieves, the NYPD, people who order a single ice cream cone from 30 blocks away and don’t even tip.
