What if we… meet singles at McCarren Parkhouse? The sun is shining and after the winter we just had, you deserve something hot. No pressure, just mingling with hot New Yorkers confident enough to put themselves out there

This will be an intention based event where you’ll get to express what you’re looking for via cute little wristbands, because let’s be honest we’re all sick of guessing. Clarity and communication are sexy.

We’ll have Love (pink) , Lust (blue) , and Open to Both (purple) wristbands, plus one to let people know if you’re part of the queer community (yellow) ❤️

Keep an eye out for your wingwomen, they’ll have pins to identify themselves and are both a safe space if you need a breather and people that will help facilitate new connections for all attendees! 🏹💕

• Primarily for ages 25-38 but open to all (21+)! Break out your spring wardrobe, grab a specialty cocktail at the bar, and let’s flirt a little :)

Remember to follow @whatifwenyc on IG for future events!

WhatIfWe Singles Night at McCarren

Once upon a time, Gavin and Ina were Amazon coworkers, brought together by their shared summer in Seattle. While consumed by their day jobs, both knew their creative acumen and upbringing in hands-on, nature focused Fuzhounese households would amount to some physical manifestation of their personal expression.

Off the heels of a 6 year friendship and in the spirit of the new year/new hobbies, we present the second installment of Ganda Gardens + GΛV workshops! 

Ina, founder of Ganda Gardens (@gandagardensnyc) , is a florist focused on sustainable sculptural design, honing in her Filipino and Chinese background to inform her practice of floral design as a vehicle for story telling. 

Gavin is a ceramicist who specializes in wheelthrowing. His work, signed off as GΛV, is recognized by its organic and ergonomic forms.

Join us for an intro to floral mechanics and arrangement design with hand thrown vases made by GΛV and we encourage you to have some dumplings from our amazing hosts, Formosa (the chicken with Napa cabbage is my favorite)!

Participants will go home with their arrangement in hand thrown vases as well as the floral shears they used.

Flushing Food Crawl

​Join us on Apr 25th, 4PM at Welcome to Chinatown for a dumpling-making circle:) More than a cooking class, think a book club around your grandma’s dining table.

​Inspired by my own family tradition of making dumplings with my now 97-year-old grandma, each gathering celebrates connection, storytelling, and the art of Chinese cuisine.

​🎟️ Your Ticket Includes:
​✨ A 3-hour dumpling-making experience (1 meat + 1 vegetarian filling)
✨ A three-course, spring-inspired dinner - featuring two seasonal appetizers, the dumplings you make, and dessert
✨ Assorted nostalgic Asian snacks to enjoy while you fold
✨ All tools and materials provided

​👀 What to Expect:
​⭕️ Learn to make two dumpling fillings from scratch - yes, even the dough
⭕️ Work alongside new and old friends (teamwork encouraged to rescue dumplings that don’t cooperate 😉)
⭕️ Hear my family’s dumpling traditions + engage in food story prompts to share your own memories
⭕️ Sit down together at the end to enjoy a full, three-course meal as a big family

Registration is required to attend the event. ​We can’t wait to roll dough, fold dumplings, and share food stories together ❤️

At Our Friend’s No.10: Spring into May Cafe!

​Join us for an intimate afternoon of conversation, cooking demos, and connection hosted by Leslie Luo (& luo studio) and Chef Sankeerth Garapati, with co-host Abi Garapati, at a private residence in Chelsea.

​This isn't your typical gathering. We've intentionally designed the afternoon so you'll walk away having met someone new.

​++ About Sankeerth Garapati +++++++++++++++
​Sankeerth is a longtime New Yorker and unapologetic food obsessive. He cooks the way he eats—with curiosity, bold flavors, and a healthy disregard for recipes. When he's not testing new ideas in the kitchen, he's eating his way through NYC and planning his travels around what's on the menu.

​++ The details: +++++++++++++++++++++++++
​Get up close for a live cooking demo led by Sankeerth, and settle in for tea service and guided conversation with new friends

​The afternoon wraps with everyone coming back together over a spread of light bites — sit, stand, graze, and keep the conversations going

​Ticket includes the full experience: demos, conversation, and all food

Buenos Díaz Coffee — NYC Popup

Buenos Díaz is a specialty espresso bar rooted in Mexico, bringing bold flavors and good coffee to the streets of New York City.

Before we officially hit the streets this summer, we’re pulling up to the rooftop at AYA New York for a morning of free coffee, good music, and even better views. Come try our menu — including two specialty drinks made for the occasion and a non-coffee option — and be among the first to experience what Buenos Díaz is all about.

Rooftop. DJ. Free coffee. What else do you need?
Spots are limited — RSVP to secure yours.

To close out AANHPI month, we have brought together the forces of Ina (@gandagardensnyc) and Therese (@toscah.bakery) for a Spring Saturday morning workshop!

Ina, founder of Ganda Gardens (@gandagardensnyc) , is a florist focused on sustainable sculptural design, honing in her Filipino and Chinese background to inform her practice of floral design as a vehicle for story telling.

Therese Ton is a Boston-based multimedia artist and home baker whose work lives at the intersection of food, science, and art. She founded Toscah Bakery nine years ago from her college dorm kitchen and has been creating cakes wherever life takes her ever since.

Guided by a passion for molecular precision and visual storytelling, Therese works as a scientific visual communicator in the biotech industry.

Inspired by nature, her layered cakes are adorned with florals and intricate designs that reflect both culinary craftsmanship and creative experimentation.

This summer, she will move to Paris to attend Ferrandi pastry school.

Participants will go home with their arrangement in a vase as well as the floral shears they used.
