German food at Zum Stammtisch! 🇩🇪🥨

On Sunday, October 18th, let's have some delicious German bites and brews at Zum Stammtisch! 🇩🇪🥨 5:15 to 7:30pm Google maps link: https://maps.app.goo.gl/YwFBg3R3a1GV92xB8 The Infatuation review: [https://www.theinfatuation.com/new-york/reviews/zum-stammtisch](https://www.theinfatuation.com/new-york/reviews/zum-stammtisch) How billing works: Usually for our larger parties, the restaurant only allows one person to pay (it would be ideal to have individual checks but unfortunately it’s usually not an option). Normally the host pays and each attendee pays the host back right away via venmo, zelle, paypal, or with cash. The amount owed is 1.3 times the subtotal (for entrees, appetizers, drinks, etc). So if the subtotal was $30, the total amount owed would be $30 \* 1.3 = $39 which covers tax and 20% tip. If there is a credit card fee charged, then the multiple would be a little higher (like 1.34 to 1.36). The host does not make any money off of this. Of course, please reach out if you have any questions! The not so fun rule on RSVPs Please only RSVP if you think you can make it and adjust your RSVP asap if anything changes (as there are other people who would like your spot). Two no shows or cancellations within 6 hours results in a 4 month ban. I will send a reminder 24 hours in advance to the group Thanks and can't wait to see you!

K-Culture Talk: From Goblin to Spooky in Love — The Supernatural

Have you ever wondered why there are so many **supernatural** stories in K-dramas and Korean movies? From the beloved ***Goblin*** and ***Hotel del Luna*** to ***Along with the Gods*, *Exhuma***, and the recent ***Spooky in Love***, Korean stories take us into a fascinating world of ghosts, spirits, the afterlife, shamanism, fortune-telling, and feng shui (pungsu). And the supernatural doesn't always have to be scary! It can be romantic, funny, touching, mysterious—or all of the above. Come join us for a relaxed conversation as we explore: * How is the supernatural perceived in Korean culture? * How do we make sense of these complicated supernatural stories? * Fortune-telling, feng shui & other traditional beliefs * How can supernatural stories be romantic, funny, or heartwarming? * What do these stories tell us about love, death, family & life? * And what makes *Spooky in Love* such a fun recent addition to the genre? We’ll draw examples from ***Goblin*, *Hotel del Luna*, *Along with the Gods*, *Exhuma*,** and the recent ***Spooky in Love*.** Haven’t watched all of them? No worries! Come with your favorite supernatural K-drama, your questions, or simply your curiosity! 🇰🇷 **Native Korean speakers are especially welcome to share your personal experiences, stories, and perspectives!** **🗣 Language:** The discussion will be conducted primarily in English, with Korean naturally mixed into the conversation. ✨ **The Vibe:** Easygoing and engaging. **👥 Who it’s for:** – . **K-drama/Korean movie fans and the supernatural-curious are all welcome!** – Korean/English speakers and learners. (Calling all Korean native speakers! Don’t be shy—come join us! **한국어 네이티브 분들, 다들 환영해요—부끄러워하지 마세요!**) – Anyone interested in Korean culture. 🔔 **Please Note** * Please register only if you're at least 70% sure you can make it. 😊 * If you can no longer attend, please **cancel your registration as early as possible** so someone on the waitlist has enough time to claim your spot. Thank you! 🔔**👥 How to find us?** Please enter through the **Capital One Cafe entrance on Broadway**. Walk straight ahead, and you’ll see **Community Room One on your left**. **Please do not walk toward the café area.**

Oct Art Gallery Crawl (Third Culture Kid Meetup)

Together the group will check out several of Chelsea’s galleries. On most Thursdays, many art galleries in the city open up to the public from 6 - 8pm so everyone can check out the latest exhibits. Usually small bites and free drinks are included. After the galleries, we'll head to a nearby bar to hang out and chat about the cool, inspiring, fun (and maybe unusual) things we just saw. Exact meeting location to come. Hope to see you there! Follow us on Instagram for more updates: [@tcknyc](https://www.instagram.com/tcknyc) FYI, if it rains, we will reschedule.

SpeakIt Language Exchange: Meet friends, practice, and share a language!

SpeakIt is a group where the goal is to **practice and learn languages** naturally: By talking and meeting new people! 🥳 this, of course, includes English learners 😍. [Traducción](https://www-meetup-com.translate.goog/speakit-nyc/events/299532447/?_x_tr_sl=en&_x_tr_tl=es&_x_tr_hl=en&_x_tr_pto=wapp&_x_tr_hist=true) We hope to have all the cultures that New York City represents, so we welcome **any language and all language levels**. Here's how it works: 1. 👨‍🎓You spend part of your time practicing a language you are learning; 2. 🧑🏻‍🏫You spend the other part of your time speaking in your native language, helping others! *(even if you only speak one language, that's fine)* When you arrive at the venue, we will have flag stickers 🇺🇳 representing any country of your choosing. Put your most fluent language on top and any language(s) you are learning or already know below. Then find someone else wearing a flag and say hi in your preferred language 👋🏼. **FAQ's** * 💰**Event is $2 (suggested, cash or Venmo)** to help cover the cost for the flags and the meetup subscription. * 🍻Please support the venue that hosts us by ordering something from the bar. 😎 * ***Will there be speakers of (my language) here?*** That depends! We don't organize who comes to the event, so we can't be 100% sure your language will be there. You may want to invite a practice buddy, or message us in advance and we can try to find you one. Otherwise come say Hi and find out! * **Can I show up late?** Show up any time during the event. * Coming alone? Welcome! Just bring a friendly face and some words. * Or feel free to bring along some friends, too. **When and Where:** * [Heart of Gold Bar](https://goo.gl/maps/csmu6MycKxirFvYv9), Astoria * Get off at Broadway on the N/W train or Steinway M/R. * Look for the flag table out back and say hi!

Chapters & Culture

I’m so happy you’ll be joining me for the very first Chapters & Culture gathering. It means so much to have you be part of the beginning of something I’ve been excited to create. 🤎 Date: 10/25/2026 Time: 3:00pm Location: To be determined (Manhattan or Brooklyn) We’ll spend some time discussing the book Kin by Tayari Jones—sharing what stood out to us, exchanging perspectives, and simply enjoying good conversation and good company. There’s no pressure to have the “right” answers (or remember every detail!). Just come as you are and ready to connect. My hope is that Chapters & Culture becomes a space where we can discover great books, try new experiences, build genuine friendships, and have something fun to look forward to together. Please RSVP by October 20th through. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to me at [insert contact information]. I can’t wait to see you and officially begin our first chapter. ✨ Read. Connect. Experience.

DRAWING FROM ART: ICELAND Lecture and Workshop with Charity Baker

Meet in the Arts

[Which art style are you? Vote and see who shares your lane.](https://app.favr.town/polls/s_378XeL85R4csGQ?r=@lovemaze) Our preferences in art reveal more about us than we often realize. Long before personality traits were formally categorized, psychologists studied personality differences through individuals' ratings of various paintings. If you find yourself drawn to the same piece of artwork, there's a strong chance you share a deep connection. Meet in the museum for an excursion. Sign up on [favr.town](https://favr.town/) and predict your next art buddy before you meet. Find out if you're right when you meet onsite. Or, if you fancy other museums, pin them at times that work for you on [favr.town](https://favr.town/) and discover who you might meet there. Note: This is a [Favr.town](http://favr.town/) member exclusive event. [Join](https://favr.town/events/meet-and-shop-trader-joes-trader-joes-2026-06-15-17-00) [[https://favr.town](https://favr.town/) ] Hint: Fans of abstract art tend to be creative, pop art lovers are often optimistic, impressionism enthusiasts are more likely to be conscientious, and those who prefer traditional art tend to be, well, more traditional. Something extra: Why do these traits matter? See how [optimism](https://favr.town/blog/the-power-of-optimism-in-relationships-how-a-positive-outlook-strengthens-resilience-emotional-health-and-lasting-love-2025-11-20), [conscientiousness](https://favr.town/blog/how-responsibility-and-reliability-build-trust-and-lasting-love-2026-04-19), [traditional values](https://favr.town/blog/prioritizing-family-values-for-lasting-commitment-and-love-2025-12-17), and [excitement](https://favr.town/blog/how-novelty-play-and-shared-adventure-keep-love-alive-2025-12-14) influence relationships. You can also measure how your sense of [optimism](https://app.favr.town/we?t=1&s=1&b=OPTIMISTIC), [conscientiousness](https://app.favr.town/we?t=1&s=2&b=CONSCIENTIOUS), [traditional values](https://app.favr.town/we?t=1&s=2&b=TRADITIONAL), and [excitement](https://app.favr.town/we?t=1&s=2&b=EXCITING) stack up against others.

'The Late 1960s American Pop Culture Phenomenon, Part 1: 1967' Webinar

Tickets: $18.88 - $50.53 (includes access to the full replay for one week) Click the link below to officially register for this experience: [https://www.nyadventureclub.com/event/2002538715204](https://www.nyadventureclub.com/event/2002538715204) From psychedelic rock and counterculture to groundbreaking movies, television, art, and historic moments that captivated millions, the final years of the 1960s were nothing short of extraordinary. How did 1967 through 1969 bring the decade’s cultural revolution to a crescendo while laying the groundwork for the transformative 1970s ahead? It’s time to relive three unforgettable years when pop culture pushed boundaries, shattered conventions, and reflected a rapidly changing world. Join [New York Adventure Club](https://www.nyadventureclub.com/ "https://www.nyadventureclub.com/") for a **three-part series** that takes a deep dive into the final years of the 1960s, when pop culture continued to evolve at a remarkable pace across music, film, television, art, and more. In **Part One: 1967**, we’ll explore the year pop culture went psychedelic, from the Summer of Love and a new generation of rock icons to boundary-pushing films, television, theater, and graphic art. Led by pop culture historian **Arlen Schumer**, this multimedia showcase and celebration will include: * **The Beatles’ extraordinary year**, from the landmark *Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band* and the worldwide satellite broadcast of “All You Need Is Love” to the controversial *Magical Mystery Tour* * **The Monterey International Pop Festival**, which brought established acts like The Who together with breakout performances by Janis Joplin, Otis Redding, and Jimi Hendrix * **The Summer of Love and rise of San Francisco’s counterculture**, including the first Human Be-In in Golden Gate Park and Haight-Ashbury’s emergence as an epicenter of the hippie movement * **The psychedelic revolution in art and design**, from Peter Max’s cosmic graphics to Milton Glaser’s iconic Bob Dylan poster * **Groundbreaking works across film and theater**, including *Bonnie and Clyde*, *The Graduate*, and the off-Broadway debut of *Hair* * **Television that challenged established conventions**, including the irreverent comedy-variety format of *Rowan & Martin’s Laugh-In* and Patrick McGoohan’s iconoclastic British series *The Prisoner* Afterward, we'll have a **Q&A with Arlen** — any and all questions are welcomed and encouraged! Can't make it live?
