Hey LEVELUP in NYC Family,

Labor Day week is upon us, which might be the biggest week of the summer in NYC. This week’s newsletter features 200+ events to level up your calendar! Also, last week we co-hosted the Fore the Culture Rooftop Mixer and Golf Social at Puttery with our friends from Baddies in Tech. It was so amazing meeting so many of our subscribers in person. Free subscribers to the newsletter can see 100 events through mid September; Paid Supporters can unlock all 200+ events through December. Thanks for rocking with us 💛

Let’s LEVELUP Together,

-Ryan, Editor
