We know you might not want to leave the house during Coronavirus 2020. We know events are being canceled. But whether you feel it or not, life is indeed going on. And so is our quest to bring you the best weekend vibes, even if it means binge watching Gentefied on Netflix. If you feel sick, maybe sit this one out. Otherwise, put on your adult pants, take a look at the events that are scheduled to take place, and make the decision that works best for you and those around you.

Kings County Dumpling Making and Mochi Making, Kings County Imperial Brooklyn and Mochi NYC

Leisurely’s intimate gatherings are going full steam ahead, and we can’t think of a better clap back than a dumpling making session. Actually, making mochii is great too, who are we kidding? This month, and likely the rest that follow, are crucial to the survival of small neighborhood restaurants in NYC since summer here is dead. So if you feel up to it and want to learn new skills that you can then take home with you forever, score a reservation here.
