For 30 days, Jennifer Magnolfi and Baratunde Thurston fought for the Foursquare mayorship of a Nolita restaurant called Delicatessesn. Via blog posts, rallies, t-shirts and custom drinks, they answered the question: what happens when you treat Foursquare politics as real politics?

- 57. In such an anti-incumbent environment, I'd be foolish to have blind confidence in my re-election bid. I am cautiously optimistic, but the key word is caution. We need campaign finance reform. It's very expensive to run a campaign like this, and I may have to seek creative financing. Mayorship should be about service to the people, not how much you're willing to spend on a Cider Mustard Glazed Porkchop #howtomayor w @baratunde
- 58. In such an anti-incumbent environment, I'd be foolish to have blind confidence in my re-election bid. I am cautiously optimistic, but the key word is caution. In electoral politics, they say 80 percent of success is showing up. In Foursquare politics, 100 percent of success is showing up. We need campaign finance reform. It's very expensive to run a campaign like this, and I may have to seek creative financing.

- 60. @magnolfi’s unpublished answers One of the great things about Foursquare is that it allows you to bring play into simple things like visiting a local restaurant. With that comes competition among friends, which is exactly what happened here. #howtomayor w @baratunde
- 61. @magnolfi’s unpublished answers One of the great things about Foursquare is that it allows you to bring play into simple things like visiting a local restaurant. With that comes competition among friends, which is exactly what happened here. For me, it has a lot to do with Design. In my work, I explore the ability to change and re-program environments to create new experiences. There are many design details I like here, from furniture, to lighting, to the use of photography. The retractable exterior walls, however, are my favorite signature piece #howtomayor w @baratunde
