SUMMARY:An Evening of Pleasure Lists
DESCRIPTION:Inspired by a poem from playwright Bertolt Brecht\, The Pleasure Lists began with a simple post online — a prompt calling for people to catalogue their pleasures. The outpouring of entries\, an unexpected response to a humble exercise\, led to The Pleasure Lists. Meant to be fun\, delightful\, and pleasureful\, it is a reflection on the things that bring you joy. In our first-ever live gathering of The Pleasure Lists community\, we invite you to a workshop where you will have the opportunity to write your own Pleasure List and connect with other pleasure-seekers.

SUMMARY:It Happened Here : American Presidents in New York
DESCRIPTION:Symposium. Every American President passed through New York City. Some were born here such as Theodore Roosevelt. Some lived here including Herbert Hoover who spent his post Presidential years residing in the Presidential Suite at the Waldorf Astoria. Some were married here. In 1844\, for instance\, John Tyler wed Julia Gardiner at the Church of the Ascension on 5th Avenue & 10th Street.  Some worked here.  Chester Arthur practiced law in New York first before he was appointed the Collector of the Port of New York\, a position which actually paid more than the presidency. Some received medical care here.  Grover Cleveland was operated on for cancer of the jaw on a yacht off of Pier A. Some like Ulysses S Grant went bankrupt here. Some launched their candidacy here.  Abraham Lincoln gave the famous speech at Cooper Union that launched his candidacy and sadly returned a few years later in a casket to City Hall to terminate it. The appropriate place to celebrate President’s Day is\, of course\, Federal Hall\, our first capital whose balcony was the site of Washington’s inauguration.
