Frequently asked
How often will I receive emails?
Once a week, every Friday morning. We occasionally send special editions for big news (like a major new opening), but never more than twice a week.
Can I unsubscribe?
Yes, instantly. Every email has an unsubscribe link at the bottom. One click and you're gone — no guilt trips, no "are you sure?" nonsense.
Is it really free?
Yes, completely free. We may introduce a paid tier in the future with extra content, but the weekly newsletter will always be free.
Will you sell my email address?
Absolutely not. We hate spam as much as you do. Your email is only used to send you our newsletter. See our privacy policy for details.
