THE SHOPDOGS OF TRIBECA (VOL. 4)
Meet the Employees of the Month—including a Shopcat and two Shopbirds!—who would like their treats now, thank you very much.

BREAD OF THE WEEK: LEVAIN LOCALE
Visit Orwashers at ALL GOOD THINGS and get 50% off one pound of Levain Locale, with the purchase of any other loaf. This intensely crusty loaf gets its slight sour from long fermentation and natural starters; made with NY state grown and milled wheat. Just say “Tribeca Citizen” through Jan 23rd for the deal. Orwashers is New York’s oldest artisan bakery, hand making breads since 1916. 102 Franklin Street, 212-226-6000. Sponsored.
