Runner & Stone

"Runner & Stone" refers to the two stones used to grind grain in a traditional mill, the runner stone and the base stone. The traditional mill is an important icon to us because it symbolizes our philosophy while grounding us in our neighborhood. Runner & Stone is located a few blocks away from the site of the first tide water grist mill in New York City. This historic location reminds us of a time when food, including primary ingredients, was largely sourced and produced locally. Discovering this rich history and tradition confirmed what we already knew; we had found the perfect spot in the Gowanus to share our love of hand-crafted food with you.
