One of the best things about NYC is that you can experience so many different cultures in one place. You can make friends with people from everywhere in the world, experience these diverse cultures, and of course, savor their food. This week, we have a calendar that celebrates this feel-good cosmopolitanism - an afterglow of the Olympics, if you will. From a delish Spanish brunch to German wine tasting at a French monastery, to Korean beauty sample sale, we’ve got you covered.
