What we’re about
Do you live in New York City with tons of culture right in your own backyard, but see Superman Returns and other blockbusters, stuff you could see anywhere? Culture for the Non-Cultured participates in theater, art galleries, museums, walking tours, aquariums, and historical homes. Usually, we eat afterwards, because nothing builds community like sitting around a table full of calories! **It is policy that there are no refunds for events, unless they are postponed or cancelled, so make sure you can come to the event before you pay **

The design of the Shrine Room showcases these objects while incorporating elements of traditional Tibetan architecture and the color schemes of Tibetan homes.
