Hello
New York,
Get out your
planner and start coordinating what you’ll be doing this month by using our August
event guide, full of concerts, festivals, and more social outings.🍾😍
They aren’t new in
town but the Mayumon location
serving up Shabu Shabu is impressing diners with their high-end service. 🍲🍶
The small but epic
Queens Museum is receiving some new guidance since Sally
Tallent took the reigns, traveling all the way from the UK with some
fresh leadership. 🏛💃
She’s got comedic
flair, style, and sass which is Mrs.Maisel
is getting an interactive art exhibit at the Paley Center. 💋🎤

Maisel's Legacy on Display
See
costumes up close during the Marvelous Mrs. Maisel exhibition at the Paley
Center. There will be notable garments such as the black cocktail dress and
luxurious coats. Fans can also explore the detailed sets like that of the
hair salon in the Catskills or the plush booth of the Stage Deli, Rose's
apartment in Paris.
There's also the
Arthritis Telethon's TV set which allows you to perform your own comedy set
and a B. Altman switchboard. As with the series, each item is cared for to
maintain historical accuracy and the aesthetic flare popular during the time
period.

From the UK to Queens
When
the prized Queens Museum was in need of a new director its cries were heard
loud and clear. Metaphorically, the need for a director was heard across the
waterways and in the UK by Sally Tallant. The applicant inquired with
excitement and applied with confidence, securing her position in the city as
the new leading force of the museum which is the only remainder from the 1939
World's Fair.
As a traveler from
the UK, Sally's new life in Long Island City and the professional journey
she's committed to seem almost magical. Thankfully, NYC Makers wanted to pick
her brain about the process and her plans for the Queens Museum now that
she's living in the city.

Shabu Shabu Macoron
Italian
and Spanish influences blend in the menu pieced together by chef Mayu
Kanatani for Mayumon. The Shabu Shabu style restaurant combines fresh earthy
flavors from veggies and broths with the savory notes from meats meant to be
eaten in combination. A bit of beef tongue or shrimp accompanied by a
dressing of balsamic soy and garlic is an example of the establishment's
style, asking diners to use sauces and salads to join each bite as they
go.
Most importantly,
the ingredients are fresh and sourced from different cuisines which makes
this Shabu Shabu experience one of a kind. There aren't any other eateries
serving a main course titled Ajillo, after the Spanish shrimp dish. It's
definitely differentiating itself from a sea of Japanese restaurants in
NYC.

Hello
New York,
We love our city
and it’s all of its characteristics, from swarms of yellow cabs each day to
fluffy bagels and missing the dirty rinky-dink express trains. We wanted to
express this love by creating a
badass playlist of 27 songs all about New York. 🚕🎶
A new wave of
affordable housing has taken NYC by storm but it’s still not enough to award
us as the largest Co-living
success with San Jose’s new Bay Area startup making moves. 🏠🎉
Don’t just eat it
because it sounds authentic, eat it because it is! As a Thai native and New
Yorker, the chef behind Bangklyn
East Harlem represents the merging of cuisines and NYC’s melting pot
in the flesh. 🍲🍤
I’ll be there for
you when the rain starts to pour! Yes, that’s the opening song to Friends and
yes, they’re celebrating their 25th Anniversary right in NYC with a detailed Friends
pop-up. 🏙💘

Me Alone

Affordable Housing Fumble
This
past November was the launch of ShareNYC, a publicly funded program that
creates affordable co-living units. With a huge housing problem on NYC's
hands, we'd hope to see more done to provide safe and clean options for
people of lower-income means. Here's to looking at San Jose for answers, as
their multi-bedroom suites add a dash of quality and luxury to their
co-living development construction, boosting their ability to house a larger
population.
New York's current
1,100 existing units are to be joined by 1,600 more but it still doesn't cut
it. With only 9 months in the works, the Bay Are start-up project has become
the first to openly acknowledge and include co-living units as a requirement
in their zoning code. There is more to be done in the city but what's been
inhibiting our progress?

Thai Eats Meet Vintage Shop
He
doesn't like it but he cooks and he cooks it well! Prasong "Pat"
Kanhasura is the refreshingly honest man and chef behind the enriching menu
at Bangklyn East Harlem. The Thai cafe provides classics like Pad Thai and
curry dishes in their purest forms as well as more eye-catching items like
southern fried chicken in a nontraditional setting.
The eatery space
doubles as a vintage shop of sorts, filling wall space with clothing and
other apparel. If you're interested in tasting the American Thai comfort food
first hand, drop in and maybe you can catch a glimpse of the legendary Pat
with your own eyes.

Friends Pop Up
Pivot!
Pivot! We wish we could've reached into the television set ourselves and
shown Ross exactly how to handle that couch, instead we had to scream at the
screen. Not anymore because that and many other scenes will be part of the
Friends pop-up coming to the city.
Die-hard fans will
have the chance to look through Monica's iconic purple door, sit in Joey's
wrinkly old recliner or fiddle with Pheobe's guitar. Ticket sales begin
August 2nd and are fixed at 29.50 a pop.

New York! New York!
New
York City pride doesn't mean we ignore our flaws, it means we embrace our
diversity and constantly improve. In honor of our city and all 5 boroughs, we
have compiled a playlist.
It's a serenade in
the form of many artists. An article compiling our favorite songs, all of
which are dedicated to the city. Now, plug-in those headphones and listen to
some Big-apple centered tracks.
