Happy Monday Fam,
Yes it was a cold week, but if you can make it to work to get your money right, you can make it outside to get your mind/emotions/body/soul right, too.
See you out there fam!

What’s Good in the ‘Hood
Things you should know about the neighborhoods where we pickup.
Queens pickup
Today’s feature, coffee shops open by 7a or earlier near our Queens pickup! All links are to Google Maps.
☕️ Brooklyn Bagel & Coffee Company, Solid but pricey option if you’re coming from the N/W train.
☕️ New York City Bagel & Coffee House, Also solid but pricey option 1 block from pickup. They have a bathroom and a great place to wait if you’re early.
☕️ Café de Olla, Not the best coffee and limited teas, and no bathrooms, but it’s immediately in front of our pickup, so good enough in a pinch.
☕️ Aroma Coffee Shop, More affordable option if you don’t like boogie of Brooklyn Bagel. Although not gourmet, good pastry selection.
☕️ Bela Aurora Brazilian Coffee Shop, Grab some Brazilian street food including those little cheese balls, pao de queijos. It’s different and it’s best when hot.
