Runner & Stone

“I remember when Runner & Stone first opened and my boss was raving about it,” Managing Editor Joanna told me. “I went soon after with a coworker and split a buckwheat baguette with butter and got a few rye brownies to go. Their stuff is really good and I'm sad I don't live closer (though it'd probably be an issue if i did).” I live half a mile away and, yeah, it’s kind of an issue. Runner & Stone isn’t a restaurant or bar or bakery. It’s all of those—at once. Which means you’re just as likely to enjoy a loaf of rye ciabatta as you are a rosemary-gin cocktail or A+ fried chicken. Heck, go ahead and enjoy all of those at once.
