If during quarantine you miss the noise of the metro, cafes, jazz evenings and exhibitions, a selection of five virtual events from SecretNYC will be relevant to you.
In New York, which can offer so many interesting things, it is very difficult to comply with the quarantine regime. Virtual events can help out in this situation, especially since some of them can practically compensate for what quarantine has deprived us of.
- If you do not have enough trips in the subway ...
The Manhattan Underground webinar will immerse you in the history of the New York subway system. Licensed tour guide and transit expert Gary Dennis will reveal the secrets of the subway and answer any questions about this topic.
Learn a lot, attending a webinar.
- If you miss the cafe ...
Take the Ultimate Virtual Wine Crash course. You will be able to show off acquired knowledge after quarantine, when you sit with a glass in your hand in one of the restaurants in the city. The training will be held with the participation of New York sommelier Amy Karasavas.
This course suitable even for beginners.
- If you miss jazz nights ...
