Bloomberg Loves Bloomberg On 'New Yorker' Cover

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) -- Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the fairest of them all? According to New Yorker Magazine it's Mayor Michael Bloomberg.

Bloomberg is featured on the cover of the current issue of the magazine gazing lovingly at himself in a heart-shaped mirror surrounded by champagne and chocolates.

"I thought it was cute," Bloomberg said. "I've said this a thousand times: I like what I see in the mirror."
