Here’s What’s Happening This (and Next) Week (in order of appearance):
Chelsea Neighbors United Presents Creating a Safe Home & Community / Pride the Block / Down to Earth Farmers Market Chelsea
Chelsea Neighbors United Presents Creating a Safe Home & Community: Wednesday, May 20, 6pm via Zoom / Free (Reservation Required) | Says CNU of this May 20 event, “This is both a follow-up from our January meeting and a chance for new folks to learn how to support those who work in our homes. Zoom meeting, Wednesday, May 20, 6pm. RSVP is required https://bit.ly/4tWu5SR.” See the below flyer for detils.
Pride the Block: Saturday, May 30, 1pm on the 400 Block of West 21st Street (btw. 9th & 10th Aves,) | The 400 block of West 21st Street–known for its kooky, competetive, eerily extravagant Halloween Decorating Contest, has another claim to fame, thanks to this relatively new annual tradition. It’s Year III for Pride the Block, which sees the span between Ninth and 10th Avenues festooned with Pride-themed bunting throughout the month of June. The block-long line of bunting packs quite a visual punch, and sends a clear message of support and solidarity to LGBTQ+ people (who, even in the heart of NYC, don’t necessarily get “Ally” vibes on every block they walk). As for how it gets that way, well, that’s what this event is for. Join your neighbors, share some laughs, and, yes, enjoy an afternoon cocktail if that’s your thing. See the below flyer for more info…
Down to Earth Farmers Market Chelsea: Saturdays, 9am-2pm on West 23rd St. off Ninth Ave. | April saw the welcome return of this opportunity to eat well, while supporting local vendors. See the below flyer for details. To sign up for the Market’s email newsletter (sent every Thursday), click here.
