“There is something in the New York air that makes sleep useless” – Simone de Beauvoir

Welcome to a very special newsletter put together by a group of friends who love New York City. Every three weeks, we curate and recommend the most fun and interesting under-the-radar activities and events for people who truly want to take advantage of everything the city has to offer. Our motto: Friends don’t let other friends be boring.

While the “same old same old” activities have their merits, and we love those too, we know there is FAR more than meets the eye in this city, and in many cases, they score higher on the blast scale.

Our rules are simple: 1) We provide recommendations in advance of the activities taking place. Nothing we write is sold out as of the time you receive the newsletter. 2) We only write about things that we either have seen/done or bought tickets for. 3) Every recommendation has a direct URL link to the event and where to buy tickets. 4) Our newsletter is succinct so your time is well spent. 5) The activities themselves can cost anywhere from nothing to a lot more. What matters most is the experience.

If you enjoy the newsletter, and especially if you love going to the places we recommend, please forward this to your friends and family, and drop us a line at whaddyawant@gothamcity.com
