Kayak & Brewery Tour Hudson Valley
The Standard Biergarten, 848 Washington St, New York, NY, USREGISTER HERE TO ATTEND https://joinoutsiders.com/events
HUDSON VALLEY KAYAKING + BREWERY TOUR Paddle. Sip. Repeat.
Open water, mountain views, and two of the Hudson Valley's best craft breweries. This is what a summer Saturday is supposed to feel like.
We'll spend four hours paddling a stunning stretch of the Hudson River with sweeping panoramic views and fresh air in every direction, guided the whole way by a professional on the water. Then we'll pull off for stops at Two Way Brewing Co. and Newburgh Brewing Co., two standout Hudson Valley breweries with great beer, solid food, and the kind of laid-back atmosphere that makes it hard to leave. A pint at each, then back to the city feeling like you made the most of your weekend.
This one is a summer staple for good reason. It sells out every year.

Llama & Alpaca-my-Appetite: Trail Side Taste of Peru
The Standard Biergarten, 848 Washington St, New York, NY, USREGISTER HERE TO ATTEND https://joinoutsiders.com/events
Trade city streets for open fields and fresh country air as we head out of town for a one-of-a-kind countryside escape. On this adventure, you won’t just be hiking! You’ll be trekking alongside llamas and alpacas, your new four-legged trail companions.
We’ll arrive at the farm, meet our fluffy hiking partners, and set off on a relaxed, scenic walk through rolling hills and peaceful landscapes. These gentle, curious animals make the experience equal parts calming and unforgettable (and yes: very Instagram-worthy).
After our trek, we’ll shift from trail time to taste time with a trail-side taste of Peru: a delicious nod to the animals’ South American roots. Expect a curated Peruvian-inspired food experience that brings bold flavors and countryside vibes together. Fresh air, good company, and incredible bites… this is the kind of pairing we like.
Whether you’re here for the animal energy, the cultural flavors, or just a wholesome day outside, this one hits on all levels. Fluffy hiking partners. Bold flavors. Countryside energy with a South American twist.### Event Details:

Nature Walk & Meditative Persian Tea Ceremony with House Leyli
The Standard Biergarten, 848 Washington St, New York, NY, USREGISTER HERE TO ATTEND https://joinoutsiders.com/events
Some rituals slow time down. This is one of them.
On September 20, Outsiders partners with House of Leyli for a morning rooted in two of the oldest forms of restoration: moving through nature and sharing tea. Together, they make for something rare in a city that rarely pauses.
We'll start on the trail, walking at a pace that invites presence over pace. Eyes up. Breath steady. The kind of movement that clears your head before you've even realized it needed clearing.
Afterward, we'll settle in for a meditative tea ceremony led by House of Leyli, a lifestyle brand that cultivates modern mindfulness rituals rooted in Persian culture. Founded by Hediya, whose earliest memories are of three generations of women gathered at a kitchen table, sharing tea steeped with cardamom, rose, and saffron, House of Leyli carries that tradition forward with intention. Expect loose-leaf Persian tea, poetry, meditation prompts, and the kind of conversation that only comes when everyone finally slows down.
This is for the seeker, the over-scheduled, and anyone who's been looking for a ritual worth keeping.
What to expect: A guided nature walk followed by a meditative Persian tea ceremony with House of Leyli.
What to bring: Comfortable layers, walking shoes, and an open mind.
