We've prepared a weekend guide full of options for you no matter what the weather is like! Grab your best outfit, a pal and check out this line up of festivals, art, parties and more happening in our city.
Highest Speed Data
Despite some warnings from tech giants like Elon Musk, 5G data is carrying forward. The fastest data speeds yet were originally restricted for small businesses and companies. 
Now, a launch date for the service is being revealed to the public. It will be the largest data network Verizon has ever launched, ensuring lightning-fast streaming and crisp signal.

Tech Calls NYC Home
Companies are not people, but as time goes on they somehow wiggle into our intimate living spaces in more ways than one. Today, companies famous for optimizing everyday activities have made NYC just as much their home as it is ours. 
If you've ever wondered exactly where and how giants like Google and Amazon are shacking up in the big apple, check out this map.

It gives off superhuman vibes like a school for the cyborg or magical. On the contrary, Cornell Tech is a grad school that furthers the education of applied sciences. 
The site is now considered a hub for tech innovation and discovery in the city. Bloomberg's vision for the center was for it to produce talents which could mirror Silicone Valley, ambitious but we have faith too.
