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 #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 #11: Gold Medals, Gold Stars, and the Sturgeon King
Good morning, West Siders. We're the neighbor who knows which restaurants the New York Times loves and which ones it ghosted. Jesse Owens's Olympic gold is at AMNH. The Knicks swept Philly. There are two comedy clubs three blocks apart running six shows each this weekend, fresh sand hitting the playgrounds, and a circus at Lincoln Center. And May is Bike Month, which on the UWS means everyone's a cyclist, a critic, or both. Scroll to the bottom for a live music hot list you can walk to. Grab your morning beverage. Let's go.

Issue #10: Chopped Cheese and Ten Dollar Knicks Tix
Good morning, West Siders. We're the neighbor who knows Gale Brewer's favorite cooking show and where to find a balloon inside a Staples. It's May. The parks are programmed. The bodegas are ready. And this newsletter just turned ten 🥳. Let's go.
