Cool & Creative Things To Do in NYC this August

Welcome to the warmly cal for the month of August! Of course, it’ll be full of fun things to do during summer in NYC, but I hope you’ll find a special POV curated specifically for this cool, curious, creative community. Come here to reach for gems when you’re looking for fun and inspiration.

and cause there's a lot of stuff on the internet, A bit about how we pick 'em Here: 
❥ The events and happenings you’ll find on the warmly calendar are rooted in creative spirit. What we’re looking for here are the kinds of experiences that make you say “damn, I’m really glad I showed up– this was special”. Those that make you feel some combination of present, connected, and inspired. 
❥ Obviously, none of us can know the exact vibe of every happening and event before it happens. But for many, I do know the hosts or creatives in attendance or have experienced their crafts/communities/venues in other ways, and can stand behind the energy of the space. 
❥ Always warm, safe, and inclusive (if that’s ever not your experience, please tell me). 
❥ Hope you enjoy whatever may be calling you – and come hang on the newsy to stay up-to-date as things come up.
