i’m in nyc too and would be down for a meet up with folks from this bowl!

I’ve looked into day parties and events around the city that are promoted through IG like Fine Wine Series, Yellow Day party etc. you will see a lot of young Black professionals there in various fields although you might not be able to initially because everyone is focused on having fun and enjoying themselves and not necessarily networking.

Thanks I'll definitely check it out 😊

Brooklyn! Fulton Street has many Black owned restaurants.

Yes that sounds like a plan. Someone organize it 👀

We should meet at Polygon in Brooklyn. I can organize our event. Check them out on IG. They have great Spanish food, good R&B, old and new school rap, etc. Definitely great vibes and you can dance in your seat or on your feet for hours.

Ode to Babel could be a good option. If you talk to folks, you’ll meet people that come from so many different backgrounds.

lol so nobody’s gonna organize it huh
