NYC FOR FREE WEEKLY ROUNDUP
Note from Rebeka:
Last weekend was crazy - definitely set a record for pop-ups in NYC! NYFW ends today, which means fashion & beauty pop-ups will slow down a little and Fall pop-ups will start popping up! PS: we are having a NYC for FREE Night at the Yankees game next week and I’d love for you all to join us! See more details in the On the Radar section.
