Taco 'Bout a Good Time at Jajaja Mexicana

You're Invited: **Taco 'Bout a Good Time on the Lower East Side at Jajaja Mexicana** Greetings, gents. Let's gather for a late-spring evening of bold plant-based Mexican food and lively conversation on **Sunday, May 31, at 6:00 PM at Jajaja Mexicana** on the Lower East Side. A downtown NYC favorite, Jajaja serves up 100% vegan Mexican comfort food — think birria tacos, enchiladas mole, beet and pumpkin empanadas, coconut queso quesadillas, crispy pescado tacos, and a whole lot more. You can preview their menu here: [https://www.jajajamexicana.com/menus/food-menu](https://www.jajajamexicana.com/menus/food-menu) Restaurant website: [https://www.jajajamexicana.com/lower-east-side-ny-ny](https://www.jajajamexicana.com/lower-east-side-ny-ny) This is a men-only event. We will be ordering from their à la carte menu. After dinner, those who feel like stretching their legs can take a stroll around the Lower East Side — one of Manhattan's most eclectic neighborhoods for evening walks. When you RSVP, a $20 deposit is required. This deposit will be applied toward your dinner bill when you attend — so it's not an extra charge, it's money you're spending on your own meal. The deposit is refundable if you cancel by **Friday, May 29 at 6:00 PM** (48 hours before the event). After that cutoff, the deposit is non-refundable, and the RSVP will close. This policy is in place out of respect for the restaurant and fairness to everyone involved. When we reserve seats and people don't show, the restaurant absorbs that loss — and that's not fair to a small business that set aside space for us. (Meetup.com might add a small fee on top of the $20 deposit. That fee goes to Meetup.com and cannot be applied towards your dinner bill.) As always, everyone will be paying for his own food plus tax and tip (minus the $20 deposit), so bring with you some cash for convenience. Please **RSVP by Friday, May 29**, so we can confirm our headcount with the restaurant. Can't wait to veg out with you!

Coworking at Bar Freda

Every other Wednesday we come together at Bar Freda on the Ridgewood/Bushwick border to work together. We have multiple booths reserved for those who are open to chatting while working and a dedicated back space for those who prefer to work without interruptions. Bring your laptop, your unfinished project, the thing you've been wanting to give attention to but haven't been able to. There will be drink specials specific to the event as well as pizza specials.

Picnic in the Park

Warmer weather is finally here! Let's get together for a picnic in the Park. For the first time this year Smorgasborg is headed to Central Park with 25 vendors (it's going to be just outside at Columbus Circle). We'll check it out and then head inside Central Park to find somewhere to picnic and socialize. **Note:** Please remember to bring something to sit on. Be on time so you can catch us before we head to Smorgasborg and Central Park. Once we start moving it will probably be challenging to track us down. **Purchasing food from Smorgasborg is optional, feel free to pack your own lunch/snacks/etc** Feel free to bring frisbee, etc **Looking forward to seeing you there!**

A Mexican steakhouse menu @ Cuerno

From the website: "Honoring northern Mexico’s deep-rooted culinary traditions and direct-fire grilling, Executive Chef Oriol Mendivil brings this legacy to life at Cuerno (meaning 'horn' in English). Think grilled meats and prime cuts, fresh seafood, signature tacos and regional specialties." The menu appears here: https://menu.cuernony.com/assets/pdf/alimentos.pdf Read on for Eater NY's review: https://ny.eater.com/dining-out-in-ny/405594/cuerno-nyc-mexican-restaurant-midtown-manhattan-review-best-steak Many thanks to longtime member Andrea for the recommendation.
