If we weren't glued to our screens at home or in transit watching the numbers roll in, we were out in droves at bars.
But that doesn't matter: Whether we were disappointed or elated with the election results, we were all waking up with a hangover the next day in some way, shape, or form. And as every hangover goes, we all need something to indulge in to take some of those aches and pains away in the days that follow.
So, for this issue of the Bulletin, we're leaning a little harder into food and drink in our news and weekend plans. You can also just tuck into a spot you know and love. Eat or drink alone (in moderation), gather friends—whatever you do, support the community around you.
