“Work hard, play hard” is a cliche when it comes to New Yorkers, but like every cliche, it’s grounded in truth. We like to put in the extra work; our workouts are harder (screw you, LA); our fashion fiercer; our restaurants and cocktails more delicious. So here at pulsd, we pick what excites your hardcore New Yorker heart, from boutique bootcamp classes to the world’s best burger (free!), to Olympic viewing party in a prestigious museum garden - because just tuning in at a dive bar won’t cut your mustard.
5 or 10 Class Packages at WRKNYC
Whether you’re a serious athlete or a newbie, this dynamic boutique bootcamp studio will make you collapse in a puddle of your own sweat - in the best way possible. Ranked as one of the city’s hardest workouts, it’s even *named* WRK.
…Speaking of working out, you sweat that much so you can enjoy treats like this without guilt. Snag a free Shake Shack burger in celebration of their 100th location.

You made it to Wednesday, so it’s time to get loose with the “play hard” component of your lifestyle. Toast to the new Defender beer (free!) at NYC’s favorite craft brewery, with prizes and giveaways to boot.
8/18 Brooklyn Museum Olympics Viewing Party
Who wants to watch the Olympics at home when you can watch it at a gorgeous outdoor beer garden at a museum? With sculptures, sports, beer, and general outdoor scenery, there’s zero chance for boredom - even you will have to put your phone down for a sec and just enjoy the moment.
