Issue 30 · May 3, 2023
All issuesThis month, we play at home with none other than the world famous Brooklyn Half on May 20th. Historically (exception being last year's ungodly humidity), its our favorite half of the year. Safe to say we'll have a thing or two going on. Stay tuned for deets, whether you're running or cheering. In the meantime, this Sunday is our Greenpoint Runners Spring Welcome Run and we'd love to see you.
This week on the B-Mail side of the house: diving into product details, five new neighborhood spots we love, a fresh episode of Fast & Loose, our unsanctioned Met Gala correspondent, and your new distance running companion.
01 — Diving into product details

02 — Five new neighborhood spots we love
A coffee / baked goods shop that's like a miniature museum, a restaurant with a chicken sandwich that'll blow your socks off, a Mexican spot with 50 mezcals, a hidden art exhibit with Yoko Ono installations, and potentially the world's next #1 best restaurant. Greenpoint is on the map.

04 — Our unsanctioned Met Gala correspondent
Our favorite Chief Designer's top picks and what was missing from Fashion's Super Bowl this past Monday. (This is literally taken straight from the Notes app. Ardith keeps everything in there. It's a digital fashion shrine.)

05 — And your new distance running companion
Your distance running companion—our most popular playlist with 155 follows (which is the Spotify equivalent of a million Instagram likes) is also our longest, standing at a coincidentally round 200 songs. Turn on, tune in, and don't drop out. Best on shuffle. Enjoy.
LISTEN NOWSay goodbye to the MetroCard machine. The world's only fully underground 10k in Kansas City. When track & field athletes hit the Met Gala. The show that Devon Allen put on at Penn Relays. On Running track nights putting more $$ in the hands of athletes. Trust yourself to do new, creative things. We dig Garrance Vallee's beautiful puzzle rugs. Is coffee the next big thing in running apparel? When someone asks me about the Bandit squad.
