Issue #13: The Sun, the Sweep, and the Zingone Bros Cat

Good morning, West Siders. We're the neighbor who mapped every sports bar on the west side, got you a private Raphael viewing before the museum opens, and reminds you the World Cup lottery closes tomorrow. Manhattanhenge, tonight, 8:13 PM. After that, we've got ballerinas, bobbleheads, and a $10,000 lightbulb the city still hasn't screwed in. Let's go. (Westward.)

Issue #7: A Shoebox of Bees and a Real-Life Indiana Jones

Good morning, West Siders. 🌧️ We're the neighbor who saw the forecast, grabbed your umbrella, and still thinks Saturday's the only day that matters this weekend. 👋 Welcome back to Issue #7. If you're new, someone sent you here because they like you. If you've been here since Issue #1, you're my BFF. P.S. Scroll for a real-life Indiana Jones, an epic 4 hour hike through Central Park, and 1996 called and it's holding your drink.

Issue #2: Don't Say Nobody Told You.

Good morning, West Siders. We're the neighbor who saves you a spot on the St. Patrick's Day Parade route and tells you to stand between 70th and 79th.Welcome back to Issue #2. If you're new here, someone forwarded this to you and they were right to. We land every Friday with everything worth knowing between the parks. Let's go. P.S. Scroll to the bottom — the 2026 Summer Camps Guide just dropped. Your summer, planned.
