What's up New York? 
We hope you're enjoying these summer days of July!
What are you going to do on your weekend? We have all the ideas for you to have fun, kick back, and enjoy yourself in our weekend guide🍻🎶🗓
The straw ban is coming! 🥤🍹🥃Haven't heard of it yet? Be prepared to buy drinks without using plastic straws, don't send out an S.O.S,  read up on some of the alternatives to continue sipping your go-to coffees and bubble teas! 
Who can live in New York and not appreciate all the art around us, whenever we walk down the streets? If your inner artistic side is calling to you, check out the Untitled Space's exhibition of "Defining Form" - a true challenge and acknowledgment of societal standards. 🎨🖼🖌 Or check out,  the Color Factory debuting in SoHo this August! 🌈🖌📍An interactive exhibit  for everyone looking to have a good - and colorful - time. 
Where are our vegan friends at? Are you all tired of struggling to find good, homemade city pizza? Don't sweat it - we've got suggestions to find the tastiest vegan pizza in New York! 🐇🥦🍕For the meat-eaters out there, who doesn't love a good chicken nugget? Or two...or many more? Get the scoop (or in this case, the bite), on the best places to munch on chicken fingers in our Chicken Finger Guide. 🍗🐓🍽
Weekend Guide
Break out of the movie and the theater-goer in you!

This weekend is filled with personable, entertaining events throughout NYC, including film presentations and in-person, theatrical opportunities for all of you that question, "But soft, what light through yonder window breaks the fun?" 
But food is life...said all of us.

We've got the Fairway Market Ultimate Picnic Day coming soon, as well as the International Food Pop-Up - traveling the world takes time; fellow NYC workers don't have the time right now, which is why this event will give you the slice, bite, or slurp of life from other countries! 
That's So Artsy
Defining Form is on view at Untitled Space in Tribeca.

The group show poses a challenge to current societal standards and the evolution of artistic choices.

Learn more about the exhibit, and the bronze booty below. 

Make Pizza. Drink Wine. Eat Pizza.
Don’t know the first thing about making pizza?

Neither do we!
Consider this your formal invite to Kesté Pizza & Vino’s pizza-making class, Make Pizza Drink Wine, on Thursday, July 26th from 7 PM- 10 PM.

Get schooled by world-renowned pizza chefs Roberto and Giorgia Caporuscio at Kesté’s Fulton Street location, where you’ll spend three hours with us learning how to make (and taste, obviously!) authentic Neapolitan pizza and fresh mozzarella.
Not only will you gain hands-on pizza-making experience, but did we mention you’ll also enjoy sipping on glasses of complimentary red and white wine the entire night?
Tickets start at just $65/person for groups for 4! 
This Sucks
We have to suck it up and deal with it - the ban on plastic straws is upon us. So how can you sip your coffee on the way to work, or that bubble tea you just bought, or even that strong Boody Mary for crying out loud? There are some alternatives to how you can continue sipping your fav beverages. 
Luckily, someone invented a collapsible steel straw for you to take wherever you go! But what about bubble tea? Get yourself some extra-wide silicone straws to properly sip those drinkable pearls.

And for the Bloody Mary, the meat straw! 
Get Sh*t Done
Entrepreneurs, artists and any knowledge worker in between are all trying to do more with less time. But in 2018, it’s easier than ever to find ways to get ahead.
Join us for a summer Friday afternoon and hear from spoiled NYC founders speak about all the tools and workflows that helped build a community and company from the ground up.
There are still a few seats left. Use the code THESTOOP for FREE
Somewhere Over The Rainbow
All the colors of the rainbow are coming your way at the up-and-coming exhibition, "The Color Factory!"
SoHo will be the area where you can catch this out-of-sight (well, more like a sight-seeing) spot; it will feature several rooms where visitors can interact with balloons, a bright dance floor, and serving up some Mochi ice cream along the way. 
Learn more about the exhibit here, and of course, don't forget to head over there in August! 
It’s Time For a Redesign
Sponsored by:

Parachute has new bath and bedroom products that will enhance the comfort and instill new natural elements in your home. Style some of these together or with other Parachute items for a spa-worthy look.
In the bedroom, choose from new linen beddings that come in bone color, boasting a light, neutral vibe or the true grey color, which can be mixed and matched with Parachute’s entire collection.
Then in the bathroom, there are new Linen Towels in shore color, a deeper and darker blue which mimics the ocean. Along with new Bathrobes in mineral, a light neutral color that goes great with other mineral-colored Parachute products.
Let’s not forget the new Waffle Towels in tan and grey, where the former offers a warm neutral option, the latter offers a lighter grey tone that can be paired for a neat, monochrome effect.
Did Someone Order A Vegan Pizza?
Anybody who's vegan knows that it can be pretty difficult to find vegan friendly versions of guilty pleasures.

Pizza is undoubtedly the go-to food for anyone on-the-go, so why shouldn't vegans be given this cheesy, crispy chance? 
Check out the '80s-styled "Screamer's Pizzeria," if you haven't already,  vegans are welcome here to pig out on some thin, crispy pies of their choice!

Find cruelty free pizza in your hood here.   
Finger Lickin' Good
It's not "Welcome to Good Burger, Home of the Good Burger," we're talkin' 'bout "Welcome to the good chicken fingers of NYC!" 
If you're looking for some places that serve reliably-tasty chicken fingers to munch on, we've got the perfect guide for you!
Don't map it out! Just cruise through NYC after easily knowing where to grab your crispy nuggets. With this guide, you'll have the convenience of which places to go in the palm of your hand, or in your mind if you learn this guide by heart.

12E 49th St 11th Floor New York, NY 10017




Few things taste as good after a long day than a mouth-watering slice of pizza and a well-deserved glass of wine. Basic essentials, amirite?
But instead of ordering a pie or succumbing to the sinful temptation of *gasp* Domino’s, why not make it yourself with some help from world-renowned, father-daughter pizzaioli Roberto and Giorgia Caporuscio at Kesté’s Fulton Street location on Thursday, July 26th at 7 PM? Yup, make pizza and drink wine.
Roberto's accolades include being named New York Magazine’s “#1 Pizza in New York,” as well as Food Network Magazine’s “Best Pizza” in New York State. Roberto’s daughter and protégé, Giorgia, is the youngest of only two women to ever win first place in the “Classic Pizza” category of Naples’ largest and most prestigious pizza competition.
Tickets start at just $65 for groups of four and include complimentary red and white wine for the night. Grab your tickets here!
