Derby Festivities, a BIG Block Party, a Cinco de Mayo Mercado, and more!
Your Weeknd Buzz. is here.
Hi Friends,
Before we get to the Weekend Buzz, I want to share this cool collaboration between pizza and mental health. I know, right? I mean I’ve always felt pizza is good for mental health but this is next level. For Mental Health Awareness month in May, Emily Brooklyn, in partnership with Hello Wellness, will offer all of its restaurant guests a 31-day free membership to Hello Wellness's online "Collective Care Club" platform, which offers free, live meditation and yoga videos (as well as a recorded library) designed to support mental wellbeing. This "Mindful May" initiative is part of the restaurant's ongoing efforts to give back to its community in celebration of being open for 10+ years. Kicks off Thursday May 1 and all guests are eligible to participate.
Now, about this weekend. It’s a big one with the Kentucky Derby; there are so many restaurants hosting parties to honor crazy hats and mint juleps (oh, and the jockeys and horses). I’ve got a nice roundup of Derby Parties below as well as a couple of cool festivals – a block party in Brooklyn, a Cinco De Mayo Mercado celebrating Mexican artists, makers, and flavors (with free palletas!) and more.
