Bridge & Tunnel
Magazine
About
Bridge & Tunnel Magazine is focused on building writers' community within the New York City area. We focus on publishing high-quality poetry, fiction, and personal essays from local authors and promote literary events. After our first issue is released, we hope to hold readings, as well. We publish online as well as in print, and will be sold in magazine shops, bookstores, and cafes across all five boroughs! Look below to find the store nearest you!
A catalog of our past issues, spotlights on our authors and editors, as well as information about locations and submissions can be found below.

Locations
Coming soon to a location near you!
Karishma Kesapragada grew up in Central Jersey on public libraries and bagels. She enjoys writing "for the ear" as shown by her recent one woman show "How Did I Get Here?" earlier this year. In the city, Karishma can usually be found sampling momos in Queens, fumbling around Yoseka stationary in Brooklyn, or taking in the Whitney museum in Manhattan.
Catherine Saccone is from Manhattan. She loves to read on the subway and at Brighton Beach; most recently, she was caught with A People's History of the United States on the dance floor of Paragon in Bushwick. Her publications span from art books to short stories. She attends the Coney Island hot dog eating contest religiously.
