Hi. I’m Josh.

I’m a writer who moved to New York City in August 2024 after visiting for years while living next door in Toronto.

This newsletter is where I document my journey of navigating this town with all of its beautiful chaos. Think of it as a collection of postcards — glimpses and snapshots of life as I experience it, going beneath the commonly found narratives to explore perspectives and observations you might not always see on the surface.

Expect to find a mix of everything here — from short, punchy observations to longer, more in-depth explorations. I might share funny anecdotes, insightful moments, hard opinions, photos, videos, or even conversations with the fascinating people I meet along the way who make this city tick.

Honestly, like everyone else who calls this vibrant place home, I'm figuring it out as I go. Let's look behind the narrative together.
