Upcoming #NYC Events

We have too many high quality events being run through the SquadUP platform to pick just one for an event spotlight blog post. Since we’ve recently had a heavy focus on our SXSW and College Roadshow events, it’s time to bring it back to NYC.

Flavor Tripping hosted by eventurously and fiestah. 3/26 @ 6:00 pm.

What is “flavor tripping”? This centuries-old concept is the consumption of a miracle fruit that temporarily makes sour & bitter foods (e.g. lemons, grapefruits, vinegar) taste amazingly delicious. These miracle berries are incidentally not a drug at all but are rather perfectly legal fruits that leave a flavor-distorting effect behind on our taste buds. Your first beer is on us!

Happy Hour Showcase powered by SquadUP. 3/26 @ 6:30 pm.

Join us for another edition of Happy Hour Showcase where we drink, be merry and showcase two startups. This week we have too very socially conscious companies in Bombas and Aromaflage.
