Expat Scottish

*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. 🍻**

Tickets: $18.88 ( incl. $3.88 fees ) (includes access to the full replay for one week) Click the link below to officially register for this experience: [https://www.nyadventureclub.com/event/1980555977243](https://www.nyadventureclub.com/event/1980555977243) Exactly 100 years ago, the unimaginable happened: alcohol of every kind was effectively banned in America. But for cities like New York City, a little ol' constitutional ban wasn't going to stop people from continuing to have fun — rather than shut down, the city's nightlife simply moved underground (literally and figuratively). This is the story of how illicit drinking spots known as speakeasies were born, and how they not only defined the "Roaring 20s" in New York, but ushered in social changes that are still felt a century later. Join New York Adventure Club as we explore the history of speakeasies in New York City, and how the strict men's only drinking clubs of pre-1920s America were replaced with cosmopolitan watering holes where the only rule was to have fun. Led by Sylvia Laudien-Meo — art historian, museum educator, and NYC tour guide — this virtual journey around NYC's speakeasies will include: -An overview of the Temperance Movement, from the series of events that led to the 18th Amendment in 1920, to the complex effects it had on NYC's social life, to creative ways people worked around it -The rise and proliferation of the Speakeasy — while it created new trouble in American society like bootlegging and organized crime, it also paved the way for a burgeoning of gifted entertainers and the women's social liberation movement -A closer look at some of the most infamous NYC speakeasies , including Lansky's Lounge and Chumley's, larger dance halls like the Stork's Club or 300 Club, and secret beer caves in the Bronx -How speakeasies kept their operations hush-hush, from quietly transporting booze to their bars, to escape routes and tunnels, to tricks they used to hide their illicit operations in case they were raided -Suggestions on today's best speakeasies in NYC , both original and revival Afterward, we'll have a Q&A with Sylvia — any and all questions about New York's speakeasies are welcomed and encouraged! Can't make it live? Don't worry, you'll have access to the full replay for one week! See you there, virtually! \*Immediately upon registering, you will receive a separate, automated email containing the link to join this webinar \*\*For the best possible viewing experience, please ensure you're using the latest version of your internet browser — Google Chrome is the most compatible. Exact technical requirements and a webinar user guide will be shared in the automated confirmation email upon registration. \*\*\*A full replay of the experience will be available to all registered guests for up to a week About Sylvia Sylvia Laudien-Meo is a freelance Art Historian who works in and around the city in various capacities, specializing on Modern and Contemporary art, with a strong focus on Public Art. She teaches art history at Fairleigh Dickinson University and has been working as a museum educator at MoMA, the Guggenheim and the Jewish Museum for over many years, engaging visitors in conversation based, interactive art experiences of permanent collections and changing exhibitions. For the Municipal Art Society, UFT, Brandeis Univ., and private clients, she has been touring the city for over 20 years, exploring art and architecture, parks, neighborhoods and history. Working in various different capacities gives her a unique opportunity to make intriguing connections and weave together the complex perspectives that make out the tapestry of our fascinating city.

Then find someone else wearing a flag and say hi in your preferred language 👋🏼. **FAQ's** * 💰**Event is $2 (suggested, cash or Venmo)** to help cover the cost for the flags and the meetup subscription. * 🍻Please support the venue that hosts us by ordering something from the bar. 😎 * ***Will there be speakers of (my language) here?*** That depends! We don't organize who comes to the event, so we can't be 100% sure your language will be there. You may want to invite a practice buddy, or message us in advance and we can try to find you one. Otherwise come say Hi and find out! * **Can I show up late?** Show up any time during the event. * Coming alone? Welcome! Just bring a friendly face and some words. * Or feel free to bring along some friends, too. **When and Where:** * [Heart of Gold Bar](https://goo.gl/maps/csmu6MycKxirFvYv9), Astoria * Get off at Broadway on the N/W train or Steinway M/R. * Look for the flag table out back and say hi!
