Happy Thursday!

Tonight a theatrical re-production of a West Wing episode is airing with the original cast plus some pretty special guests — Michelle Obama and Lin Manuel Miranda — in an effort to get out the vote.

I don’t know about you, but ever since AP Gov (shoutout to Mrs. Ward) the West Wing has been how I check out from the reality — especially the one weR

It’s hump day, folks. 

As the weather changes and activities outside become less and less appealing without shelter from the rain or any warmth, our restaurants are facing a hard winter. The New York Times dove into the city’s restaurant scene and how they’ve fared so far.

It’s tough to watch some of the city’s beloved institutions shutter for good �

Hello, hello it’s another Tuesday. 

It’s beginning to look a lot like fall. Between Saturday’s fog and chill in the air, I have come to finally accept that summer is indeed over. (However, that did not stop me from wearing shorts one last time, which may have been a mistake.)

Before we get to the news, a couple of reminders. The only sports team that we can truly count on to be proud of in this city is playing for the WNBA championship today at 4 p.m. R

You made it to Friday! 

Yesterday was the first day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, aka the Moon Festival — there are many different versions of the legend behind the holiday that you can read here.

It’s Thursday.  

As promised, The Evergrey is going to start bringing you more original content and today’s the first day of that!

This might come in the form of guides, interviews with locals or even roundups of food news that you could use.
