Golden Hour Aperitivo - C’è quel momento della giornata in cui la luce diventa perfetta, l’aria più leggera e tutto sembra rallentare un po’. È lì che ci troviamo. Vi proponiamo un evento pre-serale, un aperitivo tra chiacchiere, musica in sottofondo e calici per tutti mentre il sole scende. È il modo giusto per iniziare la serata, senza fretta: un pre-serata rilassato, prima di uscire, o restare per chi ha piacere. Da bere ci sarà spritz libero per tutti o in alternativa prosecco 🧡, mentre da mangiare ci saranno snack per accompagnare il drink senza appesantire, così chi si è già organizzato per la cena o per una serata nei locali potrà comunque unire i due eventi. Attenzione: non ci sarà quindi il solito buffet che avete sempre trovato nelle serate precedenti!!🥂 Alcune informazioni: - Se non ci saranno abbastanza partecipanti, l’evento verrà riprogrammato in una data successiva. - Se l’evento raggiunge il numero massimo di partecipanti, non sarà purtroppo possibile accettare nuove richieste di partecipazione. - Se avete allergie o intolleranze, come sempre fatelo presente. - Se l'evento venisse annullato, avrete il rimborso dell'intero importo. - l'indirizzo preciso sarà comunicato ai partecipanti il giorno dell'evento: zona MM1 (linea rossa) Milano ovest Vi aspetto! Golden Hour Aperitivo – There’s that moment of the day when the light becomes perfect, the air feels lighter, and everything seems to slow down a bit. That’s where you’ll find us. We’re hosting a pre-evening event: an aperitivo with chats, background music, and glasses for everyone as the sun goes down. It’s the perfect way to start the evening, unhurried: a relaxed pre-night gathering before heading out, or staying longer if you feel like it. To drink, there will be unlimited spritz for everyone or, alternatively, prosecco 🧡. As for food, there will be light snacks to accompany your drink without weighing you down, so those who already have dinner plans or a night out can easily combine both. Please note: there will not be the usual buffet you may have found at previous events!! 🥂 Some information: If there are not enough participants, the event will be rescheduled to a later date. If the event reaches maximum capacity, unfortunately we won’t be able to accept additional requests. If you have allergies or intolerances, please let us know as usual. If the event is canceled, you will receive a full refund of the amount paid. The exact address will be communicated to participants on the day of the event. Area Metro 1 (red line) West Milan Looking forward to seeing you!
Aperitivo and Hang-out in English
Aperitivo and Hang-out in English
Hello everybody, I usually look for events on Saturdays but I can hardly ever find any, so I asked myself, "Why don't I organise one ?" The idea is to meet at **Next Bar in Via Crema 7** (Very close to P.ta Romana underground station / yellow line) at **18:00** and hang out there for some time. You can also enjoy drinks and eat for 13 Euros (p.s. the buffet is mind-blowing). Guests are required to buy their first drink upon entry. I kindly encourage you to RSVP during the week if you can. I really hope to meet you on Saturday! Don't worry if you can't see many people who've RSVPed, the event is advertised on other platforms, so there will be plenty of people to mingle with. When you get there ask for **Riccardo**. Feel free to WhatsApp me at **+39 334 283 1963** During the event, you'll have the opportunity to join our WhatsApp group by scanning QR codes displayed on the tables to stay in touch. Looking forward to a great time together! Best regards, Riccardo WhatsApp group: On site Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/aperitivoandhangout/?hl=en Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/3522012771345456
🍴 International Lunch Picnic: taste the world
🍴 International Lunch Picnic: taste the world
📌 **What** Join us for an **“Around the World” lunch in the park** — a relaxed international food exchange where everyone brings a small dish from their country to share 🌍🍴. The idea is simple: we meet in a park, lay out a few big blankets, and create a mini **international picnic buffet** together. It’s a great way to discover new foods, share traditions, and meet people from all over the world in a casual and friendly atmosphere. **How it works:** Meet around **12:30** in the parco sempione. Everyone brings **one typical food from their country** to share with the group — homemade or store-bought, both are perfectly fine. Feel free to also bring **a small card or note with the name of the dish and ingredients**, especially if there are allergens. We’ll also need **2–3 people to bring big blankets** so we can sit comfortably together. ❗️The Meetup team won’t be there, so please use the **[WhatsApp group](https://chat.whatsapp.com/CGBND0zPLG5DTUNlCjVMel)**[ ](https://chat.whatsapp.com/CGBND0zPLG5DTUNlCjVMel)to find the exact meeting spot and coordinate what people are bringing. 📌 **Who** Expats, locals, students, travelers — anyone who enjoys **international food, cultural exchange, and meeting new people**. You don’t need to be a chef — **the goal is sharing and discovering**, not perfection. 📌 **How** * **RSVP** to join the event * **Join the [WhatsApp group](https://chat.whatsapp.com/CGBND0zPLG5DTUNlCjVMel)** — important to coordinate dishes and find the group * Bring **a typical dish from your country** to share * Bring **a blanket, drinks, plates, or cups** * *(Please please please)* keep your **RSVP on Meetup updated** 🫶

🥾🌿 Our Social Hike:  From Milan to Lecco
🥾🌿 Our Social Hike: From Milan to Lecco
This hike to Lecco was organized internally through our WhatsApp group and filled up from there, so this post is shared mainly as a record of the activity and to show the kind of things we organize as a community. The participants and all practical details were already managed inside the internal chat, so this post is not meant as a new open registration. **But to share a thought:** "Sometimes the best activities come together in a simple and spontaneous way, without too many expectations. It’s also a reminder that if people are looking for connection, friendship, and shared experiences, there are many others looking for the same, often it just starts by taking initiative and showing up." - Ellie 💛 Thanks to everyone who joined and helped make this happen!

Bad Girls Book Club April 2026
Bad Girls Book Club April 2026
**Our April novel is: *The Hong Kong Widow* by Kristen Loesch** **This month’s novel blends gothic atmosphere with historical fiction and chilling horror, set against the haunting backdrop of China. The book is 368 pages in print and 10 hours and 42 minutes on audiobook.** In 1950s Hong Kong, Mei is a young refugee of the Chinese Communist revolution struggling to put her past in Shanghai behind her. When she receives a shocking invitation—to take part in a competition in one of the city's most notorious haunted houses, pitting six spirit mediums against one another in a series of six séances over six nights, until a single winner emerges—she has every reason to refuse. Except that the hostess, a former Shanghainese silent film star, is none other than the wife of the man who once destroyed Mei’s entire life. It is promised the winner will receive a fortune, but there is only one prize Mei wants: revenge. Decades later, the final night of that competition has become an infamous urban legend: The police were called to the scene of a brutal massacre but found no evidence, dismissing it as a collective hallucination. Mei knows what she saw, but now someone else is convinced they know what she did. She must uncover the truth about the last night she ever spent in that house—even if the ghosts of her past are waiting for her there. . . .
Book Bedazzling (BYOB) - Bloodguard by Cecy Robson
Book Bedazzling (BYOB) - Bloodguard by Cecy Robson
Let's bedazzle some books while we discuss our April pick: Bloodguard by Cecy Robson! Book description: One hundred years. Tens of thousands of gladiators. And today, only one will rise… Everything in the Kingdom of Arrow is a lie. Leith of Grey thought coming to this new land and volunteering to fight in the gladiator arena—vicious, bloodthirsty tournaments where only the strongest survive—would earn him enough gold to save his dying sister. He thought there was nothing left to lose. He was wrong—and they took everything. His hope. His freedom. His very humanity. All Leith has left is his battle-scarred body, fueled by rage and hardened from years of fighting for the right to live another day. Then Leith meets Maeve, an elven royal who is everything he despises. Everything he should hate. Until the alluring princess offers him the one thing he needs most: a chance to win the coveted title of Bloodguard—and his freedom. But in a kingdom built on secrets and lies, hope doesn’t come cheap. Nor will his ultimate revenge… Event: Please bring your own book, journal, bookmarks, etc to bedazzle. If you have bedazzling supplies, please bring them as well. I will supply gems, glue, and picker tools, but if you have certain colors in mind, you may want to bring your own.
