Introducing our new socially distanced dating series! |
|
Dating is always awkward. But in our new age of social distancing, it’s more difficult to navigate than ever. That’s why we’re reviving our blind date series, Undateables, for this unique age. Every other week, we’ll be sending out single New Yorkers who swear they’re “undateable” on completely blind dates to see if they’re right. After their socially distanced rendezvous, we'll find out how it went! This week
, we caught up with Christophe and Charlotte who got to know one another while kayaking with Manhattan Kayak. | |

The week ahead |
|
“One of the coolest innovations during quarantine has been Virtually Nowadays, a kind of digital reimagining of the Ridgewood club with livestreamed events, DJs and more. Now, you're able to once again experience the club IRL. Nowadays’ sprawling backyard is open from 4pm–midnight every day this week, with appropriate safety precautions in place. Another great outdoor NYC destination worth a trip? The
New York Botanical Garden which starts welcoming visitors back to its grounds tomorrow. And if you’re looking to hop on the drive-in cinema craze, head over to the just-launched Brooklyn Drive-In at the Brooklyn Army Terminal.” |

Cheap thrills |
 |
|
The city’s library systems are all back in action with a lot of new protocols. But in addition to the new guidelines, the NYPL has another major addition: A brand-new library. The former Mid-Manhattan Library has been closed since 2017 and just reopened after a massive upgrade. Swing by the Central Circulating Branch this week for grab-and-go service to check out the new space. | |
