Hey {{ Name | there }}!
This week NYC has something for everyone — and we do mean everyone.
There's an FFS fundraiser that would make any MAGA's blood boil, roller skating classes, and a techno workshop that we're pretty sure most MAGAs would frown upon too. All winning options.
But if you want pure dance floor energy — the kind you dreamed of when you couldn't go out on a school night — this week delivers.
Wednesday, MAURE takes MAD Radio for a full night of house, disco, and global dance cuts. No handoffs, no interruptions — just one selector building something from start to finish.
Thursday, Morgan goes all night at Green Room NYC for Golden Record NYC's 10th anniversary. Ten years of one of Brooklyn's most trusted nights, celebrated with their longtime resident doing what she does best. No phones, no photos, no videos. All vibes.
These are just a few of the options this week.
The full list has plenty more — including what the The Illustrious Blacks and JKriv are cooking up. You'll want to know.
The New Trick to Reducing Stress Without Losing Focus
Burnout and stress can make it hard to focus and keep up at work. That pressure builds, creating a cycle that’s tough to break.
If you’re looking for a way to ease workplace stress without feeling drowsy, try CBDistillery’s Daytime Calm gummies.
Each serving contains 50mg of CBG, a non-intoxicating compound derived from hemp, formulated to support calm and daytime focus.
In a 2022 CBDistillery study, CBG was associated with:
Increased focus and mental clarity
Reduced mild, temporary anxiety
Like all CBDistillery products, Daytime Calm gummies are third-party lab tested for quality and consistency.
