Here & Now: A Phone-Free Experience (NYC)
You spend your days scrolling, thinking, pushing.
Always plugged in. Always on.
But deep down, you’re craving something that can’t be found on a screen.
So what if you took a break?
What to Expect:
A curated, phone-free social experience for intentional thinkers who want more out of their time offline.
Upon arrival, you'll check in your phone with our team for safekeeping.
From there, your only job is to be fully present and spend quality time with quality people, over a curated menu of drinks and snacks (available for purchase).
Who’s Invited:
Those who value attention, intention, and human connection.
If you're craving real relationships with people who get it, you’ll feel right at home.
This is not a networking event. This is a place to feel human again.
Can I come alone?
Yes! Many people come alone and leave with a long list of people they actually want to see again.
Where:
Lower East Side, NYC. Address released upon approval.
Date & Time:
Wed January 7th 2026, 630pm-9pm EST
