Readers of Content,
We’re excited to be back in the Demo Kitchen at Ace Hotel Brooklyn for our next reading on July 23rd. We’re welcoming an amazing lineup featuring Asha Thanki (A Thousand Times Before), Jennifer Croft (The Extinction of Irena Rey), and Nell Irvin Painter (I Just Keep Talking).
Each ticket includes three small dishes inspired by the passages, and one complimentary drink. Additional drinks will be available for purchase. Our friends Sammi and Olivia of Cocktails in Color will be mixing up cocktails inspired by the book, so you’ll want to make room for a couple!
The good folks at Books are Magic will be with us selling books, so come ready to pick up a few copies.
