A Cut Above the Rest
Sponsored by:
New
York City has long since been known for its old-school steakhouses. However,
when it comes to finding the best spot to give yourself a serious case of the
meat sweats, some restaurants tend to be a cut above the rest.
A prime example is
Club A Steakhouse, located at 240 East 58th Street in Manhattan.
Book your next
date night, family get-together, or business dinner here for a night you
won't forget with the restaurateur himself, Bruno Selimaj.

Escape It, Or Not
Escape
rooms are a great time, but what makes each one stand out?
You and nine of your closest friends (or maybe a few friends, and a few strangers) will have 15 minutes to follow the clues and solve the puzzle. Ripley's Believe It Or Not in New York City is open 365 days a year, 9 AM - 1 AM. |

Hello
New York,
If you’re looking
to let loose with your canine this weekend, check out these
pet-friendly bars and restaurants that encourage you to let your furry friend
off their leash. 🐶🍗🐩
Feeling really adventurous? Trade in the concrete jungle for the actual
jungle, and plan your next trip to an exotic destination. We’ve found
the picture-perfect destinations that will have you booking a ticket faster
than you can say ‘Bon Voyage.’ ✈️🗻🏖
Or how about a
staycation? These NYC
pools are the perfect weekend retreat. Get ready to soak up some sun and
keep cool as the temperatures rise. ☀️💦⛱
Hope you have your
best red, white and blue ready for Independence day. Fourth of July is fast
approaching which means it’s time to fire up the grill and get ready to watch
some impressive fireworks. Here are some of the best
places for your viewing pleasure. Trust us, it’s gonna be lit. 🎇🇺🇸🌭
We bet you’ve
never seen anything like Tom
of Finland’s art. The late artist was known for his homoerotic portraits
and celebrating LGBTQ perspectives. His artwork is most recently being
featured on the bottles of a namesake wine brand. Cheers to that! 🍷👨🎨🎨
Coming out isn’t
easy, and it’s normal to feel trapped. Here’s
how one writer learned to feel more comfortable in his skin. 👨❤️👨🏳️🌈👩❤️👩
June 27th is
national PTSD
Awareness Day. If you or someone you know is suffering from
post-traumatic stress disorder, please don’t hesitate to reach out for help. 😬🤝💙
Enjoy
your night, and embrace those you love; a privilege no longer available to
hundreds of children detained at the countries southern border. For those who
would like to support here's a list
of eateries providing assistance over the next few weeks. 🗽💗🍽

Gone to the Dogs
Now
that the dog days of summer have started bring your canine with you as you
roam the city.
These bars and restaurants are a must-hit if you can’t live without your furry companion. From the Barking Dog on 3rd Ave, to Five Leaves in Greenpoint, dine and drink with man’s best friend throughout the long summer days. Though it’s encouraged to call ahead in case of health department visits, these spots love pups as much as you do and some even have water bowls and treats on-hand. Skeptical? Don’t worry — with places like BK’s Buttermilk Channel that serve up savory fried chicken on the reg, you’ll have more to munch on than just kibble. |

Tom of Finland's Artistic Vision
Tom
of Finland, sought to educate and inspire with his artwork.
Though unlike other artists, his work includes homoerotic portraits of men, popularized in the 50’s and into the early 90’s. Today, he is celebrated through Tom of Finland Wines, which are showcasing his art through their array of artisan wines (plus, donating part of the profits to the Foundation promoting human rights and sexual expression through art). |

PTSD Awareness Day
June
27th is PTSD Awareness Day, but what exactly is PTSD and how does it affect
those who are suffering from the disorder?
PTSD, known as post-traumatic stress disorder, affects the mind in different ways, and while it can be difficult to pinpoint in each person, one way we can all treat its effects is through tolerance and understanding. Learn more about PTSD, its symptoms, and where to get help. Featured article artwork by Winston Tseng |

Light It Up
Celebrate
Independence day right and spark new traditions!
These are some of the go-to locations if you’re looking to bask in those festive, Fourth of July fireworks. While some spots on this list, like Houston and the FDR drive area, are free, others, like the Brooklyn Barge Bar, will have you shelling out some cash for tickets. This list includes lots of rooftop bars, which means great views and the good news is some tickets include food and drinks in the price! If you’re hoping to hit up one of the free, public spaces, just be sure to go early if you want to snag a good spot. Don’t forget to pack a cozy blanket, your camera, and maybe a drink (or two) for a night to remember. |
