What do reporters usually want to know?
Most coverage starts with the bagels and ends with the people. Reporters have written about how the Bash builds community one bagel at a time, about Jewish joy inside cannabis culture, and about what New York cannabis looks like from the inside. Our holiday parties, from Purim at Torches NYC to Hanukkah at the THC NYC museum, have drawn their own coverage.
