Meet a New Neighborhood Food Tour: Williamsburg
Tue, Aug 25 at 6pm
· Brooklyn
New York City is home to 350 neighborhoods and, even if you’re a local, you probably haven’t been to most of them. Let’s change that: come Meet a New Neighborhood on a food tour of Williamsburg. Meet a New Neighborhood tours are food tours by locals, for locals. Every Tuesday and Thursday evening, we go to a different area in the outer boroughs and spend 90 minutes exploring three food stops to illuminate the area’s history and present culture. Neighborhoods aren't the only thing you meet on these experiences, though. Our tours begin with a happy hour so you can mingle with other New Yorkers wanting to learn more about their city. And if you hit it off with people during the tour, we end by walking over to a dessert stop so you can continue the local food adventures with your new friends. Meet a New Neighborhood food tours are a way to experience New York and meet New Yorkers offline, seeing the city and its people with your own eyes rather than through a screen. Whether you've lived here for decades or moved from elsewhere a week ago, visiting a new neighborhood with us will help you meet and eat a new side of New York. This week, we're visiting Williamsburg, one of the city's most rapidly changing areas, to traverse our way through the current mecca of New York slice shops. We'll visit three different pizzerias, each with their own style of slice, and chat about both how New York pizza developed and why Williamsburg become the home for a 21st century dough-fueled renaissance. Meet a New Neighborhood food tours cost $50. Your ticket includes a 90-minute tour with three included food stops, plus opportunities at a happy hour and dessert stop to mingle with other guests (drinks, dessert, and guide gratuities are not included with the ticket price). The tours are presented by NYC Unscripted, a local tour company run by licensed expert local foodie guides and writers.
Art Picnic in the Park
Sun, Aug 30 at 4pm
· Brooklyn
Time to get outside and make something Let's enjoy summer the right way: outside, with art supplies, good people, and no agenda. This is your excuse to ditch your screens, slow down, and find time to be creative. This is not about being good at art. This is about finding time to make something, enjoying nature, and community. Bring a friend or make a new one! We Bring: 🌳 A picnic setup in the park Blankets, fresh air, a cute playlist (if you don’t like the music, blame it on Spotify) 🎨 Communal Art supplies Everything you need to get started - paper, pencils, pastels, watercolors, and more You Bring: ✨Yourself All levels are welcome, from beginners to professionals ☀️ Weather Gear Please bring sunscreen, coats, or whatever else Mother Nature is demanding of us 🥤 Snacks + drinks Bring anything you want to nibble on or sip 🖼️ Your own project if you have one If you’re working on something, please bring it! This beats making something alone in a dark room The Logistics How to Find Us Don’t want to walk up sheepishly to the wrong picnic blanket? Before the event, we'll send all attendees a message with our exact location within the park. Look for the blankets, the art supplies, and the people who look very happy to be outside. Weather This is an outdoor event, so we're at the mercy of the NYC sky. If the weather is looking rough, we'll make a call by the night before and notify all attendees.

Ever wondered what people thought of you when they first met you? We've all been told the same thing growing up: Never judge a book by its cover. But we know nobody's perfect! People make assumptions about you all the time! You make assumptions too! How accurate are your assumptions about others? How accurate are the assumptions people make about you? We’re here to find that out! I’m creating a special app/website that randomly pairs participants and gives you things to guess about each other based purely on vibes. See how well people read you, and if you read people well enough you can be at the top of the leaderboard! We will meet at 2 pm and start at 2:30 pm! For this to work well we’ll need a lot of people, so send this invite to people you think would find it interesting! Hope to perceive you soon!

“Here is New York” was written by E.B. White during a hot spell in 1948. What better time than the heat of summer to revisit his eternally relevant reflections on who and what makes NYC the city it is?! Join Lit Out Loud, the city’s newest live reading series and creative community, for a live narration of Here Is New York — read aloud by Mark Sanderlin, an Audie Award–winning narrator (think, the Oscars of audiobook narration).

Whether you’re a lifelong New Yorker, a recent transplant, or just endlessly fascinated by this place, this is a chance to experience a classic in the most fitting setting. Come grab a drink, settle in, and listen to a talented New York narrator bring this classic New York essay to life. No prep required—just bring yourself and your love of good stories.

Salon No.1
Sat, Aug 15 at 8pm
· Brooklyn
St. Gloria presents Salon No. 01 An evening where live music, design, film, and conversation converge. Inspired by the spirit of the modern flapper, not as a costume, but as a state of mind: curious, expressive, stylish, and unapologetically creative. This salon is an invitation to step into another era while imagining a new one. Throughout the night, our house band, featuring some of NYC’s finest jazz musicians, will soundtrack the evening as guests move through immersive fabric installations, curated film, and intimate performances. This is not a spectator event. It is a participatory salon. Dress is part of the experience. Conversation is part of the performance. Strict dress theme (mandatory): Modern Flapper. Think contemporary interpretations of 1920s glamour through tailoring, fringe, pearls, velvet, lace, silk, sharp suiting, and bold individuality. Come dressed to become part of the world we’re creating.
