NYC FOR FREE WEEKLY ROUNDUP

Note from Rebeka:
This week: A variety of pop-ups for everyone: from Dossier, Summer Fridays and Jones Road if you love beauty, to Grillo’s Pickle Paradise and McCormick’s Butcher Shop Takeover for foodies, and San Diego on Tour for anyone who loves to travel.

PS: Next week is when I am most likely switching up the newsletter provider, so things may look a *little* different!
