This week, we’re tapping in with Cory Gunz — Bronx emcee, and someone who knows how to keep things low-key. Whether he’s clearing his head or getting his steps in, Cory shares how he stays grounded and finds his focus.
Okayplayer: Where do you go in NYC when you want to be "outside" without being outside? (Your go-to spot when you want to have fun but also be in a quiet environment?)
Cory Gunz: When I’m “outside,” I go to Juices for Life. It’s a juice bar Styles P has with his partners Na and Leo up in The Bronx, Castle Hill to be exact. I’m all about living a healthy lifestyle, health is wealth! So, I tend to go there when I want to unwind while getting my mind and body right. It’s a family vibe — we talk sports, health, politics, and just everyday life.Where do you go in NYC when you want to be around people but not with people?
When I want to be around people but not WITH people, I go to the gym. I feel like that’s a space where you can go there, say, “What’s up” to people, and keep it moving, but you’re literally still around them. And in the process, I’m working towards a goal of getting my workout in for the day.
What would your perfect day in NYC look like?
My perfect day in NYC would be spending time with my family on a summer day, getting a New York slice, and ending it with the juice bar. There’s nothing like summer in the city!
