Behold the care and joy we put into the top of every story.

Good afternoon! What a brilliant Wednesday, and what a brilliant reader you are, subscribing to our delectable, exclusive email morsels. Please tell a friend to do the same, right now.
On Tuesday, we were blessed to publish a terrific blog post by Jason Diamond about knishes. (Well, it was also about the hardcore band Agnostic Front, and Rudy Giuliani, and how sweeping municipal policy decisions can destroy the tangible things about New York City that you love, so that you'll have to construct a separate version of the city in your head if you ever want to visit the place you once knew—it's good!)
Coming up with headlines is a collective process here at Hell Gate: Someone starts and we all chime in until the best headline wins. Jason's piece presented a unique and delightful opportunity to use "knish," and we leapt at the chance to get weird. While a more straightforward headline eventually won out (this is the internet, after all) we do want you to witness the care and joy that we put into the top of every story. Without further ado:

Wow. Okay. Feel free to stand up, walk around, soak all that in. Have a glass of water. Breathe.
On Monday, we published a story by Brandon Doerrer about how global heating is affecting the gigantic, gorgeous trees of Woodlawn Cemetery in the Bronx. The pictures that photographer Alan Chin took were so fantastic, we thought we'd drop a few more in this newsletter for our subscribers, as a treat. Restore yourself in their leafy embrace!
Thank you again for supporting our website, we'll see you again on Saturday morning!
Love,
