Rediscovery: April 14

I got to the market at 8:30 this past Saturday. Morning makes all the difference. Between the ability to get the scarce spring offerings and the willingness to chat of farmers who started their day at 3 am—oddly enough, at 3 pm they’re too tired to pass the time of day—it’s rekindled my joy in marketing. The most interesting topic of conversation: a comparison of favorite dive bars of Manhattan.
