Doesn’t the old adage say “April showers bring May flowers?” Nonetheless, this week is looking better and brighter, and we would rather make it rain cool things to do rather than wallow in weather-related sorrow. Take a Saturday sail around New York Harbor (wine tastings included), get some amazing brunch at a Michelin guide hotspot, LOL with Pete Holmes, or brush up on your knowledge of Japanese cuisine. Either way, we hope this week’s lineup brings a bit of sunshine to your cloudy Monday blues…

The ICC Presents: Wellness in Japanese Cuisine With Shojin Ryori
Wellness is the state of being healthy in both mind and body. In order to achieve this state, you’ll need to do more than simply drink kombucha, eliminate excess carbohydrates from your diet or consume protein powder for convenience. In this demonstration for The International Culinary Center’s Culinary Wellness Series, Chef Hiroko Shimbo will introduce and illuminate Shojin Ryori, the healthful, time-tested, highly respected vegetarian cuisine of Japan.
