The Drunken Canal was a New York-based print newspaper. The publication was founded in 2020 by Michelle "Gutes" Guterman and Claire Banse.[1] The paper focused on youth culture in New York's Lower East Side.[2]
In a New York Times article by Ben Smith, the publication was cited as a pushback against the homogenization of social media platforms.[3] Articles published in the paper include an interview between Cat Marnell and Caroline Calloway.[4] Its September 2021 issue was shot by Daniel Arnold and outfitted by Thom Browne.[5] The paper partnered with the Tribeca Festival to produce a Battle of the Bands event judged by Nick Sansano and Despot.[6] The magazine's editors were sponsored by the meal replacement drink, Soylent, and traveled to report on parties at Art Basel.[7] The newspaper published its final issue in 2022.[8]
