Issue #16: A Title, a Tribute, and a Woman in a Brown Dress

Good evening, West Siders. We're the neighbor who likes a weekend with some weight to it: a little history, a lot of sun, and more free things to do than any reasonable person can get to. We already toured the new Aldi, have feelings about a $12 bike ride, and read every last comment on that Trader Joe's missed connection, so you don't have to. Plus a championship fifty-three years in the making, and the World Cup, three ways. Let's go. (Sunscreen first; the UV's been showing off all week.)

Issue #15: The Buzzer, the Bracket, and the Branch

Good morning, West Siders. We're the neighbor who found the World Cup playing under a blue whale, knows Sunday's parade is coming for your crosstown bus, and started hoarding pennies the day they killed them. Always Knicks! Let's go.

Issue #14: The Clutch, the Current, and the Coin

Good morning, West Siders. We're the neighbor who still has every penny in the change jar, just in case, knows the difference between a London plane and a Callery pear, and reads every Appellate Division ruling so you don't have to. PS: Today is National Donut Day. Krispy Kreme hands out a free donut (the closest brick-and-mortar is in Times Square at Broadway & 48th, but the UWS delivery is fast). Dunkin' gives one with any drink purchase. 😬 Bonus: NYC named the donut. Washington Irving wrote "dough-nut" down first in 1809, in his History of New York: "balls of sweetened dough, fried in hog's fat." We kept the name. Lost the hog's fat.

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.)
