NYC FOR FREE WEEKLY ROUNDUP
Note from Rebeka:
It’s September in NYC and the weather is perfect, plus NYFW is about to start! This is a busy week with all of the fashion & beauty pop-ups, so the newsletter is broken into two sections: one for more fashion + beauty events and the other for food & culture events. Use the Google Maps layer to help plan your route & have a great week!
