About us
A book club for women who love reading books about or set in NYC! These will vary in genre from month to month...classics, memoirs, chick-lit, an entertaining non-fiction...the idea is that every book is somehow related to NYC! We'll gather together over cocktails/coffee/bevvy-of-choice once a month to discuss the book, and also try out a variety of NYC bars/cafes. As of Summer 2024, there will also be a monthly virtual option for book club.
Who Should Join: Women who enjoy reading books on a variety of topics*, enjoy discovering new bars/cafes in NYC, and who want to meet other women! *also, who can commit to reading at least a decent amount of the book once they've RSVP'd. I'm sure we've all had the experience of being in a book club and being the only one to have read the book...makes discussion a wee more difficult;-)
Why You Should Join: To have fun (most important!), meet new people, and have a group of friends to discuss books with!
What Members Can Expect: A once a month meet up held at varying bars/cafes/atriums in Manhattan on a weeknight evening. Due to space restrictions in booking tables, the meet-ups will be capped at a pretty low number, making for a more intimate group.

Brief book description:
Franny Doyle is having the worst day. She’s been laid off from her (admittedly mediocre) job, the subway doors ripped her favorite silk dress to ruins, and now she’s flashed her unmentionables to half of lower Manhattan. On the plus side, a dashing stranger came to her rescue with his (Gucci!) suit jacket. On the not-so-plus side, he can’t get away from her fast enough.
Worse yet? Someone posted their (entirely not) meet-cute online. Suddenly Franny and her knight-in-couture, Hayes Montgomery III, are the newest social media sensation, and all of New York is shipping #SubwayQTs.
Only Franny and Hayes couldn’t be a more disastrous match. She’s fanciful, talkative, and creative. He’s serious, shy, and all about numbers. Luckily, in a city of eight million people, they never have to meet again. Yet somehow, Hayes and Franny keep running into each other—and much to their surprise, they enjoy each other’s company. A lot. But when Franny’s whole world is turned upside down (again!), can she find the courage to trust in herself and finally have the life—and love—she’s always wanted?
FUN Optional Assignment: choose ONE word that sums up the book for you and be ready to share.
This is the IN-PERSON event for February; see below for location details. If you aren't able to make it be sure to check out the virtual gathering happening this month, too! See you soon. XO.
