For the FIRST time ever, we have a GUEST teacher, Charlotte, talking about the powerful Astrological events taking place February 17th AND a first ever New Moon manifestation ritual! On Tuesday, February 17th, there is a New Moon in Aquarius, a solar eclipse, and the Lunar New year. Guest teacher Charlotte, Astrology expert and powerful Channeler, will talk about these events, what they mean to us, and how they connect to Tarot. We will also guide you in the first for this class New Moon ritual to harness the Aquarian energy to help manifest our goals for this month and year. At the end, we’ll practice pulling tarot cards for guidance for this new moon cycle. Please bring your own deck(s), if you have it. Since this is a special event, we ask for $15 from everyone, only if you are able - half of the procedes will go to Quest Bookshop for generously hosting us, and the other half will go to the guest teacher for their time. (If you’re unable to contribute at this time, please still attend and bring your energy to help build our community. ^_^) The class is officially 1.5 hours, but please feel free to stay longer if you'd like more practice or have any questions. ^_^

The reading will last between 15-20 minutes. Martha connects with your Spirit Guides and Guardian Angels to bring you the most helpful and uplifting information. When reaching for a new level of understanding of our lives, when we have a very specific question we would like an answer to, or when we would just like to know if we are "on-track"; that's when we find support through any number of psychic readings. Martha ALWAYS connects with love and light. She believes in the strength and power of God, Source Energy (or whichever term feels correct to you). Her aim is to help you gain understanding, identify opportunities, to hone in on possible events or circumstances that may be of help you. ************************************* GROUP SPONSOR: Check Out 2 Amazing Hair Products...

Admission to the museum is free. This exhibition will be on display from February 19 until April 19, 2026. If you cannot attend the opening, please stop in and see the show at your convenience. Call ahead for hours. This exhibition is a comprehensive exploration of the symbiotic relationship between the world of fashion and fine art. Featuring more than 140 objects, including garments, accessories, textiles, photographs, and original artworks drawn from MFIT's permanent collection, *Art X Fashion* challenges the traditional hierarchies of visual culture, presenting fashion and art each as parallel, potent expressions of social, intellectual, and creative forces. Curated by Dr. Elizabeth Way, curator of costume and accessories at MFIT, the exhibition reflects MFIT's mission to advance the understanding and appreciation of fashion's critical role in culture. The core of *Art X Fashion* lies in its profound engagement with the eternal question: "Is fashion art?" The exhibition explores the ways that fashion has always been a partner, not a follower, of fine art, highlighting typically overlooked integrations throughout history. This includes examples of how the two disciplines have worked together to create European styles, from the drama of Rococo and Neoclassical grandeur to the unsettling world of Surrealism, to the shock of Pop Art and postmodernism. **Share your excitement using #ArtXFashionMFIT** **Go to https://www.fitnyc.edu/museum/exhibitions/art-fashion/index.php for more information.**

Not long ago I had the pleasure of a sightseeing and culinary adventure in **Morocco**'s ancient and modern cities at the edge of the Sahara desert. **I'd be delighted if you could join the NYC Vegetarian and Vegan group to enjoy the distinctly flavorful Moroccan food at Zerza restaurant.** **This will also be a trip to explore the vegetarian & vegan options in the beautiful Essex Market building**, such as **Chomps-Élysées, Puebla, and Ni Japanese Deli.** And also, the exquisite all-vegan **Rebel Cheese (formerly Riverdel)**. Likely, I am thinking, most of us will order from Zerza. But please feel free to order from multiple vendors and whichever vendors you please. **Food**: At Zerza, you can try their variety of starters, such as **Zaalouk, Falafel Salad (order without feta cheese), Roasted Cauliflower**, or indulge in a traditional entree such as **Couscous** and **Falafel Sandwich**. There are also vegan sides like **Hummus** and **Spinach Dip** (made without dairy) or create a **Mezze Plate** with several vegan items. **PLEASE NOTE: Zerza is NOT all-vegetarian, so please confirm that your food matches your diet at the time of ordering.** Service: The staff are very accommodating to vegan/vegetarian dietary preferences. Food is served quickly. **Everyone pays for themselves; cash & major credit cards accepted.** **FOR OUR NEW MEMBERS** \- We are an incredibly friendly\, FUN\, and welcoming group\! Join us for a stellar evening of lively conversations and great food/drink with fellow vegetarians and vegans\! **Train information:** * Take **F M J Z** train to the **Delancey St.-Essex St.** station. **Essex Market is right on this corner, above the train.** * Another option is to take **B D** train to **Grand St.** station, then walk a few blocks east. **Website with menu: [https://www.zerzany.com](https://www.zerzany.com)** **WHERE TO MEET and WHERE TO EAT:** After picking up our food, our group will be going upstairs to **Essex Market's 2nd Floor**, where there is a large seating area. **We will meet as a group there, after individually picking up our food at Zerza and/or other food vendors.** We look forward to seeing you on Friday, March 6, upstairs at Essex Market's **2nd Floor seating area.** Michael

New to the Appalachian Mountain Club? Looking to connect with other folks who love getting outdoors? Come meet new AMC friends on a walk around Randalls Island! Explore the beauty of the city by walking a circuit around Randalls and Wards Islands. Enjoy the river views, bridge views, and extraordinary Manhattan and Queens skylines. My favorite experience is walking across the Salt Marshes and under the Hell Gate Bridge . We'll walk at a leisurely pace on paved terrain for about 5 miles with little elevation gain, stopping at points of interest. Wear comfortable walking shoes and warm clothes in case a cold wind blows across the water. If you are new to the AMC, this is a great starter event! New and existing members, as well as prospective members are welcome!! Meet at 11:00am at the Randalls Island side of the 103rd Street pedestrian bridge.
