There's always something happening all around New York City; it's impossible to know everything that's happening in every borough, but I do my best. None of the words or opinions expressed here represent anyone but myself (don't get me in trouble).
This newsletter is approaching novella length! I'll be partying all Juneteenth week so to spare myself having to worry about sending an email, and to offer you, my readers, some time to plan, I've decided to share events for both this week and next.
It's Pride, Black Music Month, Puerto Rican Day Weekend, and next week's Juneteenth; so much to celebrate! Chances are that many of the events coming up will sell out in advance; avoid the long lines and start planning NOW!!! DM me at @nanapresents on Instagram if I missed anything and I'll try to add any late additions there between shots in lieu of sending an email update.
In other news, I'll be celebrating an early birthday on Juneteenth weekend with my life-long doppelganger and the third child. If we're friends IRL hmu if you want to join in the festivities!
Before you go: COVID cases are likely on the rise in New York City, so if you haven't gotten your booster recently, consider wearing a mask when you party. It's cool and chic and more importantly could help prevent a superspreader event that our city is very unprepared to weather three years into a pandemic (also now the air is not just viral but toxic!) Stay hydrated and safe these next two weeks!
