Choose the Beat & Beat the Heat: Events & Parties in NYC and then some....
So many events, so little time.
Happy Friday! Shout out to everyone who’s reading for the first time & hello again to everyone else who decided to open this newsletter again.
Clearly summer is here if you haven’t noticed by the current heat wave or the boob sweat, back sweat, thigh sweat and all that razzle dazzle. 🫠 Anybody else feel like NYC is melting?
It looks like the curated lists of events have been a hit so I’m giving you more of that. Rooftops, boats, disco skating parties, and Miami is making a preview in here. Shout out to Miss Pips — hailing from Queens and now based in Miami— making her debut in NYC this weekend at an exclusive after-hours in Manhattan. Email me if you want more info.
Andddddd… I’m taking a week of rest because the balance of work & play cannot be made possible without some R&R. Expect me back in your inbox the week of July 8th.
