Salty Kiss @ Seven

Salty Kiss? No, not a ground-breaking piece of theatre, but check out our latest vegan beer, brewed by Magic Rock - first choice of Millennials....and the perfect accompaniment to Afsaneh's Persian Exprience. Choose from a selection of Mazzeh (small plates) from this Masterchef finalist 2012 and Oliver award winner 2019. Friday 6 & Saturday 7 December.

Food and drink aside, great events coming up, start tonight, Wednesday 4 December, 8pm, with Super Trooper Improv Comedy  This is a “gut-bustingly funny” and totally improvised games and sketches comedy show.

Tomorrow, Thursday 5 December, 8pm, JazzLeeds presents Karen Sharp Quartet.

What's up New York,
Happy Wednesday, the snow has arrived with December and in its honor, we've whipped up a Winter Weekend Guide🎼🧣
Brisk weather may stop some from getting physical but Row New York is still arming athletes for success on the water. 🛶
Crowds of determined high schoolers took to protesting integration in Manhattan on Monday. 🗣💪🏽
Those struggling with housing costs in the elderly and youth communities will experience relief from the new housing program. 👵🏻👶🏼
Song: Don Toliver - No Idea
Feeling Festive

This weekend's Winter Guide kicks off our shift into snow days and pillow forts. Instead of turning into a hermit, stay active by attending one of the exciting and social gatherings on our round-up of events. Grab a bite to eat with friends, try watching a live performance or create a new exciting cocktail. 

Rowers Go To Uni

Row New York's initiative to reach youth in the boroughs pays off for another season. In an interview with rower Sebastiana Lopez, she discusses how the athletic program has given her opportunity.
The program offers rigorous training on racing vessels as well as academic support that sets members on the road to college. 

Fighting for Integration

The prestigious student body at W 44th's Beacon led a strike this Monday. In honor of more diversity and inclusive admissions processes, high school students turned out with signs and chants.
The push for inclusion was not supported by faculty, penalizing participants for missing class. 

Housing Homeless Youth

A new program is assisting the elderly with living costs in NYC. Eligible renters with empty space can now house someone in need of housing. In exchange for assistance with upkeep and other tasks seniors might find difficult on their own, homeless youth will have a place to stay.
The Home Sharing Program not only assists with living conditions but also creates a new possibility for social growth that counters isolation.
