Wake up. Work out. DONE! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4KKltxVko4w This is a core strength workout. We do boot camp style exercises, so think pushups, situps, planks, squats, burpees, etc. There's a lot of smiles and laughing involved, too... (and the high fives will come back as we leave the COVID era behind!) Not sure how to do burpees? Pike jumps? Dragon Pushups? That's fine! We'll teach you. This is an awesome way to rock your body and get fit fast. We welcome all fitness levels! Even if you have not worked out in years we want you to join us. Working out with fun, encouraging people in a group setting is better than trying to do this all on your own. EVERYBODY IS WELCOME!

Whether you are an entrepreneur, small business owner, business professional or just someone who wants to meet new people, this event is for you! It's the perfect opportunity to get away from your desk, have some cocktails and network with potential business partners, investors, industry professionals and new clients.... Or make some new friends! We've witnessed countless business connections and friendships form at our past events. We'd say about 70% of the crowd is usually single so it can be a great place to meet someone special as well. A Secret Networking Event is a revolutionary new event that is changing the way people network in NYC. It is a fun and easy way to connect with others in a relaxed, low pressure environment. **SECRET SYMBOL** After you sign up we'll send you an email with a list of different industries and interests to choose from. Each industry/interest will have a different "secret symbol". This secret symbol will let the other event attendees know what industry/industries you're in or what topic/topics you're interested in. Once you select what industry and/or topics you're interested in you'll be directed to a page with printable paper bracelet templates with your secret symbol on them. You can select one industry or multiple industries or topics. If you don't have access to a printer you can simply draw the secret symbol/s on the back of your hand with a marker or pen before arriving at the event. For example... those in the tech industry might have a triangle as their secret symbol... those in the real estate industry might have a square as their secret symbol... those single and looking to potentially meet someone special might have a circle as their secret symbol... those interested in crypto might have a lightning bolt as their secret symbol, etc. Then you simply show up at the venue at the listed start time and get started meeting people. **\*\* EVENT LOCATION IS LISTED ON THE EVENTBRITE PAGE \*\*** *\* QUICK NOTE: THIS IS A MULTI-MEETUP GROUP EVENT. 25 OTHER GROUPS HAVE ALSO BEEN INVITED SO WE'LL BE SURE TO HAVE A GOOD SIZE TURNOUT. THE RSVP LIST ON MEETUP ONLY REFLECTS A SMALL PORTION OF ACTUAL ATTENDEES.* *An email we received about one of our recent events: "Thank you so much for throwing such a great event. The crowd was really great and everyone was super friendly. As a busy professional I don't get that much time to get out and meet people so it was nice to be in such a relaxed environment. Event well done!" - Danielle, NYC* **//// Want to see all of the most fun events coming in NYC?

We do not accept payment at the event door. We also change the venue at each event and don't give out the location to those who don't sign up. You must pre-pay online. HOW LONG DOES THE EVENT GO? The event is about 2.5 hours long, however the venue won't kick you out after 2.5 hours.

*Hey, Perplexity. Write a quick description of Ready Cantina in NYC and why transplanted Texans would want to visit for happy hour.* **Quick pitch to Texans:** **[Ready Cantina](https://moxyeastvillage.com/the-ready-cantina-rooftop/)** is basically an East Village rooftop porch with tacos, cheapish margs, and skyline views. It's an easy stand‑in for the patio happy hours you left behind in Texas. **What it’s like:** * Rooftop space in the East Village with views over downtown and a fully retractable glass roof, so it works in all weather and all seasons. * ​Bright, colorful decor and playlists aimed at relaxed hangs, meetups, and spontaneous nights out, not white‑tablecloth dining. * Menu centered on tacos, Mexican‑inspired snacks, classic and frozen cocktails, and tableside coolers where groups can mix and match canned beers, wine, and cocktails. ​ **Why transplanted Texans would care:** Tacos and margaritas as a ritual. Happy hour leans into Tex‑Mex comfort—tacos plus beers, Micheladas, and margaritas at approachable prices, which hits close to the after‑work rhythm a lot of Texans are used to. ​ **Backyard energy in a vertical city:** The space is marketed as feeling like a New York backyard party on a rooftop, a fun analog if you’re craving the casual patio/porch vibe you’d get at bars in Austin, Dallas, or Houston. ​ **Happy hour specifics:** Weekday happy hour 4–7 pm with deals like $6 beers, $9 Micheladas, and $12 margaritas... **which is great if you miss that “day drinking on a patio” culture from back home. 🍻**
