Hey South Forkers! Have you seen our September/October issue yet? It’s on stands and there’s so much to dig into. Our Fall Living issue is always an homage to the beauty of sunny September and crispness of October, and all the great things you can do and see.
Take a listen to what we’re excited about in the magazine — from running with Gubbins, strolling Jobs Lane, and the inside scoop from Drew Nieporent’s new memoir on what it was like to work on the famed Della Femina to the ship house of the inimitable graphic artist Kiki Boucher a thoroughly entrancing cocktail from One Trick Pony, the grab-n-go fresh delights of Serene Green and, our cover story, the peripatetic pepper curators of Springs Fireplace Hot Sauce.
It’s a good thing that slight new twist in the temperature tends to pump us all up with a little extra energy. You’re going to need it to do all the great things we have in store… take a listen!
