Whether you're a language learner, ESL student, or simply passionate about exploring new cultures, this event is perfect for anyone looking to immerse themselves in a diverse and welcoming community. Come join us for an enlightening evening of language, culture, food, of course, and connections! (Everyone will choose individually from the menu and pay for their meal.) One of our members had good things to say about this place so we decided to give it a try. They specialize in Lebanese - Mediterranean foods. We hope you will join us! See you there!!

Silent Disco!

**Silent Discos** are popping up all around Downtown. Flip through stations of chart-toppers and hot hits while dancing to the beat at outdoor block parties. **How it works**: You grab some headphones and find the tune that moves you and...move. The silly part is, your friend may be on a different channel (and moving to a different beat)! [The Junto](https://thejuntohotel.com/) is a fav spot to gather. Rooftop bar. Open air bar streetside. Lobby for lounging. *It's my pleasure to show you around!* ***Come by early for Easy Hour - discounted drinks and apps til 6pm!*** **Parking**: drive around the block to find *street parking* or *lots near COSI*. Parking garages under the condo units are great, too.
