6.30 – 11.30 PM

Join + POOL’s Co-Founders, Board of Directors, and friends at Totally No Boundaries, + POOL’s Fall Swim Gala, on Wednesday, November 14, at Pier 17 in the Seaport District NYC. The event will raise support for the continued development of + POOL so that everybody can #SwimintheRiver.

This year’s event will honor incessantly creative visionaries that have totally no boundaries. Much like + POOL, these individuals push the peripheries of creativity in their industries and collaborate with others to produce the outrageous things we love most about the world.

Claire Weisz is an architect and urbanist, and a founding principal of WXY. We’re inspired by her recent and ongoing work in New York City including the redesign of the Rockaway Boardwalks, Pier 26’s Boathouse/Restaurant, Battery Park’s SeaGlass Carousel, and The East River Blueway Plan. Her insight to co-found The Design Trust for Public Space shows that she shares our same vision of creating projects for the future. The vision that we need to be creating inclusionary, equitable spaces for everybody, with totally no boundaries to access or to good design.

Scott Lazer discovered filmmaking in college, and now works as a creative director and filmmaker directing music videos, short films, documentaries, and branded content for clients in music, advertising, film, and TV. He is currently the Director of Video Production at Dreamville, founded by J. Cole. His videos are surreal; his stories told through the lens of all organic everything. It’s a major vote of confidence when an artist trusts you to share their stories with the world, which is what J. Cole has done with Scott. We have the same trust with him, and can’t wait to see + POOL in his world.

Welcome to the Just Food G.A.L.A.

This is not your average big-ticket, big-name fundraiser “gala." This is a kind of anti-gala. Our kind of G.A.L.A.: a gathering to activate, liberate, and appreciate; that aims to both build community and raise money to support Just Food’s ongoing work in pursuit of a more equitable food system.

#letsredefinelocal

What does "local" mean in New York City? To us, it means what exists here and now, while also carrying the spirit of far away and long ago. It means stories of migration and diaspora. It means honoring long-held traditions, even as we reinterpret and recreate them on our path towards liberation. It means centering the historically marginalized communities that built our city into what it is today. Our "local" is full of paradoxes and complexity, and that's what makes it special.

At the Just Food G.A.L.A., you will get to experience the work of over 30 chefs and culinary artists who use food as a medium to explore these themes. We’re honored to be highlighting more than 30 queer, of color and ally chefs, culinary artists, and good food businesses we love, many working outside and around the traditional restaurant system. These are folks inspired by locality and seasonality, who are engaged in transformative work in their communities through food; and who are making some of the most delicious, thought-provoking food and drink in New York City.

Discover the City's best artisanal sweet-makers! You will find everything from handmade macaroons, experimental donuts and ice cream sandwiches, creatively flavored peanut-butter cups, spiced pumpkin pies, Transylvanian twisted cakes, freshly baked cupcakes and scones, and the most mouthwateringtruffles and chocolates you've ever had. Everything will be to die for!

This special pop-up will take place inside NYC's biggest and most diverse weekly market - Grand Bazaar NYC.

Be sure to come hungry and ready to shop!

100% of Grand Bazaar NYCs profits are donated to four local public school, benefiting over 4,000 children. 

Admission is free. 

New York Wine Events invites you to the 6th Annual NYC Autumn Wine Festival, our most elegant tasting of the year.

• Sample a large variety of wines enhanced by a light menu of hors d'oeuvres, cheese, crackers, crudité and pasta.

• Taste amazing creations from artisanal food makers -- many local to the NY area -- who will be sampling their products, including charcuterie, baked goods, sweets, savory items and more.

It's a tasting celebration. Wines at the festival are curated by the experts at Vintry Fine Wines. Select beers and spirits will also be sampled. Wines will run from full bodied reds, to light whites, to crisp rosés, bubblies, and other intriguing blends.

Select New York State wines will also be showcased at the event, with several NY State wineries selling selections by the bottle for guests to enjoy at home. Come and meet these talented winemakers and hear first-hand about their wine making journey.

This October 1 on National Sake Day, skip the sake bombs and instead head to the Lower East Side’s izayaka and sake lounge, SakaMai, for an educational sake event, with opportunities to test (or develop) your sake tasting knowledge (for prizes!) and the chance to sip some premium sakes, rarely poured by the glass, for one night only.

National Sake Day happens to fall on a Monday night this year, the day of the week when SakaMai usually holds its ongoing Soul of Sake gathering hosted by the inaugural Miss Sake USA, Jessica Joly. As such, SakaMai will hold its first-ever blind tasting Soul of Sake from 6 - 8pm.

For the blind tasting, guests will have the opportunity to taste three curated flights of sake ($16 for 3 glasses) from different regions of Japan: a North Japan Flight (Hokkaidō and Tohōku regions), a Central Japan Flight (Kantō and Chūbu regions) and a South Japan Flight (Chūgoku, Shikoku, and Kyūshū regions).

As a guide, guests will be provided a tasting grid to assist them in guessing the region and prefecture of the flight — in hopes a winning special prizes, exclusively for National Sake Day.

Also for this one night only, premium bottles of sake will also available to everyone at a special discounted rate and poured by SakaMai’s staff, more than half of whom hold expert sake professional certifications.

Premium sakes available by the bottle (one night only!):

• Katsuyama Akatsuki Junmai Daiginjo - $25

• Sake Revolutions Junmai Daiginjo - $18

• Daishichi Minowamon Kimoto Junmai Daiginjo - $18
