Bronx Medal Monday at the Andrew Freedman Home: Free Beer for NYC Mara – From The Bronx

Twenty-six point two miles deserves a cold one. On Monday, November 2, the historic Andrew Freedman Home opened its doors for Bronx Medal Monday, a free NYC Marathon celebration and recovery day. The Bronx Beer Hall was there with the drinks and From The Bronx was there with giveaways and our Bronx POW! backdrop.

Runners who finished the marathon got free beer courtesy of The Bronx Beer Hall and Simple Motive Brewing Co.

Inside, the ballroom filled up with medals, smiles and cans of Bronx Little Italy Italian Pilsner from The Bronx Beer Hall, plus stickers and Greetings From The Bronx promo cards by From The Bronx.

We also ran into a special guest: our friend from MetroStore Osaka, visiting all the way from Japan. We first connected with MetroStore Osaka back in 2019 and finally visited their shop in Namba this spring. Read about that trip in From The Bronx to Japan: A Boogie Down Pilgrimage.
