Hello
New York,
IT'S THE WEEKEND -
well...almost if you're still at the office. 😑As
we come closer to the well-deserved days off, we've got some special things
for you to check out, New Yorkers.
The weather
forecast has been rain, rain, and...rain 🤷♀️🤷♂️☔️? Dance in (or
out) of the rain with our Weekend
Guide!
Thrift shopping is
the way to go; our Thrift
Shop Guide will hook you up with the best places to go thriftin'!
But what tunes
will you listen to you as you walk through that rain? How about you look at
our ranked
New York City song list? 😎🌃🎧
Now it sounds like
you might need a drink after walking through that rain...or just muggy heat
in general. 🍻But,
watch what you do in front of your bartender - they're not only there to make
drinks: they're the Nightlife
Lifeguards! 🍻
Alright, now that
you're done drinking, or perhaps you're just trying to get a ride, you should
really know one thing - Uber
will be installing little vending machine devices into your ride! 😱
You
must be hungry now after a long day like this. Who wants free food 🆓🙋♀️🙋♂️?
We do! So we'll join you at
these places that offer free food soon!
Listen to: Demi
Lovato's - Tell Me You Love Me

Weekend Guide
What
are your weekend plans? What are our weekend plans? Well, let's figure out
this small predicament we all have! Check out our July 27 Weekend
guide!
From movies to
drinks, outdoor events to...more drinks - bring on the creative events that
are in store for everyone during these three days!

I Wear Your Granddad's Clothes, I Look
Incredible
$50
for a t-shirt? What? Who needs that when there are multiple places where you
can buy clothes for much cheaper prices?
Listen to
Macklemore 'cause he's got the right idea! Thrift shops can surprise you with
their sale items. Who knows - you can buy an expensive-looking jacket for the
price of a small coin purse?
Check out this
guide on where to shop till you drop in Nw York...and avoid paying ridiculous
prices.
You'll be
shopping, not dropping out your entire paycheck.

These Streets Will Make You Feel Brand New
What's
so great about New York?
We have some songs
honoring our beautiful city, ranked by Ms. Audrey Lee.
From Sinatra's New
York to Alicia's Empire State of Mind, see where your favorite city track
landed.

Party Lifeguards
You
gotta admit it- bartenders don't just make drinks and stand there. And
they're not just a friendly face either, believe it or not.
The guys and girls
become a customer's advisor, janitor, jokester, and bouncer all in one
minute. Of course, this may seem temporary, but jumping from customer to
customer, a bartender is expected to keep these roles going throughout the
night, as another one bites the dust and passes out from all the drinks and
another lost soul comes in need of advice.
No wonder why they
should be tipped - they have several jobs! To all our lovely and strong
bartenders out there, we thank you for your service of drinks, conversation,
and even protection.
How does a
bartender protect someone? Take a look here; you might be surprised at how
crazy a bartender's night can get.
|

|
Vend and Ride
Say
what?! Vending machines? Uber's bringing out a gift for us busy New Yorkers,
with their "mini vending boxes!" Progressing towards being in
rideshares across this entire city, these boxes will offer simple snacks,
such as protein bars and bags of chips.
Los Angeles and
San Francisco apparently got these first, but don't get too worked up yet -
Uber certainly didn't forget about us over here on the east coast!
|
|
|
Get Up, Get Out, and Crawl
This
Saturday, come out and explore Brooklyn as The Cultural Crawl comes here.
Enjoy live performances, DJ sets, and catch the unveiling of a new mural by
Raisin Brand.
In addition to the
entertainment at the host venue, guests get access to food + drink specials
at 10 venues in the neighborhood.
Use code CLP25 for
a discount.

Freebies
You
don't want free food? Alright, you're joking, we know. 'Cause we definitely
could go for some free food on one of these hot and muggy summer days in New
York!
With the apparent
approach of National Ice Cream Month - seriously, whoever invented days
or months like this is a GENIUS - you will now have the chance to get some free
ice cream and other foods all around New York, in certain places.
If you know you'll
be at JFK or at a food truck soon, you might want to read up on where to get
your free scoop of ice cream below.
It just goes to
show - you can be rewarded with free stuff anywhere in this wacky city!

Greetings
New York,
No library card,
no problem! If you don’t have a library card and feel like you’re missing out
on the Public Library’s recently announced cultural initiative, check out these
museums that feature free or pay-what-you-want entry on certain days. No
card required! 🙅♀️💳 🏛
Looking for that ice
cream fix? Check out our latest ice cream roundup that’ll have you calm
and cool for the rest of the summer. It's chill, no need to thank us. 🍨 🍦😋
If you like your
food with a side of knowledge the Museum
of Food and Drink’s new Bangladeshi food exhibit might be your calling.
Learn about the role that the South Asian cuisine has played in the city’s
food scene and enjoy some authentic eats. Yum! 😋🍴🥘
Feigning for some
good ol' BBQ? Look no further than Donnell Rogers' own front yard in Crown
Heights. Visit
Mr. Rogers on Saturdays where he's cooking up seriously good eats from
his makeshift "Smack Grill." 🍗 🍖 🍽
Kids these days! Hear
what these kids had to say about some of the new parks that have been
popping up around the city. Disclaimer: they don’t sugar-coat it! 🤸♀️🛴🤔
What if God was
just one of us? Read
this short story depicting God like you’ve probably never considered before
(spoiler: he waits for the never-coming L train like the rest of us). 🌏 💫💞
If you’ve always
wanted to learn to make pizza join us at
Keste’s (Fulton St) for Make Pizza Drink Wine, where you’ll be able
to say ‘seeya’ to Domino’s once and for all. 🍕🍴😋

No Card, No Problem
If
you rushed to get a library card after the New York Public Library announced
its new Culture Pass program, a limited number of passes per day for
each attraction (some are now even booked up until September!) may mean
you're out of luck.
However, fret not! We’ve found you the best museums and cultural exhibits that you can visit at certain times for free or for a pay-what-you-can fee. In case you didn’t know, entry to the New York Botanical Garden is free on Wednesdays and the MOMA is free from 4-8 PM on Fridays, save that $$$! |

Make Pizza, Eat Pizza, Drink Wine
Few
things taste as good after a long day than a mouth-watering slice of pizza
and a well-deserved glass of wine.
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
pizzaiolos Roberto and Giorgia Caporuscio at Kesté’s Fulton Street location
this Thursday, July 26th, from 7 to 10 PM?
Tickets start at
just $65 for groups of four and include complimentary red and white wine for
the entire night!

Ice, Ice (Cream), Baby
No
need to scream, play it cool and check out these beyond dreamy ice cream
spots for frozen treats with flavor.
Personally, you’ll catch us at Amorino with their seasonal lime basil sorbet or crunching on a salty pimp from the Big Gay Ice Cream Shop. Whether you’re a cone or cup kind of ice cream lover, it’s chill either way. |

A Taste of Bagladesh
Head
to the Museum of Food and Drink in Williamsburg to experience Bangladeshi
food like you’ve never experienced it before. For the next three weekends,
the museum will be featuring a tribute to New York’s Bangladeshi community
through cuisine as well as a documentary and an art installation.
The documentary focuses on the role that food has played in the journey of New York’s South Asian migrants. A walk-n diorama will also be featured and include restaurant objects from real Bangladeshi migrant communities. After you enjoy the sights, sit down in the museum’s 10-person dining room, decked out in Bangladeshi décor, and enjoy traditional recipes donated by authentic chefs and home cooks. Get your tickets while you can! |

the tools and workflows that helped build a community and company from the
ground up.

Home Cooking
Would
you buy homemade BBQ from someone off of their front lawn?
It might sound unconventional but that’s exactly what Donnell Rogers is doing from his Crown Heights home, located at the corner of Albany Avenue and Pacific Street and people are LOVING it. With a cardboard sign that reads “Smack Grill,” Rogers and his very reasonably priced eats are bringing a taste of North Carolina to the city. If you find yourself in the area on a Saturday (the only day Donnell sells his BBQ), give the Smack Grill a visit! |
|
|
Kid's Choice
The
kids are alright! If you’re looking for the most kid-friendly parks to
explore with your tiny tikes, see what these real NYC kids had to say about
their favorite outdoor spaces to play in.
The youngsters both ranked Governors Island high on their list of favorite parks, as well as Pier 3 and Domino Park receiving good marks as well. The biggest criticism the kids gave? Having play spaces that suit kids of all ages! |

Thirsty Thursday, Anyone?
Don’t

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

Girl Power
Central
Park recently unveiled plans to install the first statue depicting a
historical female onto the grounds, and all we can say is THANK GOD (Ariana
Grande says God is a woman after all).
The statue will
honor female rights movement pioneers Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B
Anthony and will be installed in 2020.
There are
currently only FIVE statues of historically significant women in all of New
York, while there are approximately 145 statues of men, 25 of which stand in Central
Park.
C’mon guys.

you might think.

college freshman Margot first meets Robert at her movie theater job, she

closer through text flirtations she goes through an array of emotions in this
