Set sail while sipping some mezcal cocktails and eating tasty tacos 

Here's your plan for a Cantina-themed summer bar on a boat:
Sail, savor mezcal cocktails, and indulge in delicious tacos while cruising the Hudson

Cantina themed summer bar on a boat

Enjoy delicious Mezcal cocktails and a variety of tacos aboard La Barca Cantina, a floating bar on the Hudson.

Boat Dining & Drinks

✅ Before you go
• Make a reservation to board the boat here: https://labarcacantina.com
• Come hungry/thirsty but be prepared to make quick decisions to maximize your time on the boat as it runs for 1.5-2 hours max
• Gather your friend group! This is a place best shared with friends

💪 Pro tips
• There are plenty of options for all types of diets so this is a great spot to bring your vegan friends!
• Try the mushroom tacos even if you're not vegan. Trust me!
• Trust the bartenders, too-they have great recommendations (even beyond the mezcal, although I highly recommend getting their rec on these too)
• Get there early to get a table outside. The breeze, and views are unbeatable!

La Barca Cantina

If you're looking for a primo boat to enjoy

with your crew this summer without breaking the bank,

La Barca Cantina is a floating Mezcal bar

that not only boasts some fantastic Mezcal drinks,

but sails you around the Hudson while you try it all.

And we couldn't have picked a more perfect day.

If you're looking for food variety, you'll find it here

from apps like classic chips and guac or a sampler of free salsas to the

esquite corn and sweet plantains, which are not usually my thing, but these were so good

and I can't forget the tacos. They range from mushroom, which was so tasty

(I'm still wishing I had more) to baja fried fish to

options like the brisket filled one that my friend had.

Between courses, we experimented and shared two different Mezcal

they were really interesting and it was cool to

see what different flavor palates each of them had.

Leches cake too, for authenticity, of course. 

I already know this is gonna be one of my favorite summer haunts.

So grab your besties and climb aboard so you can see for yourself.

Here's your plan for a sailing class in New York Harbor with hands-on learning and scenic views

New York Harbor Sailing Class ⛵️

• Sailing still happens rain or shine ☔️

Go to One 15 Brooklyn Marina

I went on a literal nautical adventure around the New York

Harbor that gave us beautiful views of the Statue of Liberty

where Captain Ian showed us the ropes. Literally,

I didn't realize I could learn how to sail right here in New York City.

where we got a very thorough lesson from the expert.

You can totally just go on a regular boat ride with them.

But it was so cool being hands on and actually

driving the boat amongst a bunch of other things.

and all that mist was definitely giving authentic sailor vibes.

I was feeling like a boss, 18th century female pirate without the scurvy and crime.

definitely recommend this if you want a more active hangout activity.

Super cool rooftop ice baths that are good for your body and your mind

Here's your plan for rooftop ice baths, trampoline jumps, and a scenic walk on Williamsburg Bridge

Ice Cold Club Plunge & A Chill Deal 🧊🛁 

At Ice Cold Club in Williamsburg, dive into invigorating rooftop ice baths, try trampoline workouts, and unwind with leg compression machines and massage guns.

Ice Bath Plunge

✅ Before you go
• Check out their schedule online: https://icecold.club
• Save $10 on your first Ice Cold Workshop for Sundays or No Chill Sound Healing with code NUDGE
• Chat with instructors before your session-they'll help you prepare for your first plunge and make it way easier for you to adjust to the cold! 
• Have fun! It's not as scary as it looks-I promise!!

💪 Pro tips
• They recommend only 3 plunges the first time around (3 min max), which is more than enough to energize you! 🛀 
• Save some time after for brunch or an exploration of the area. The neighborhood is really fun. 🍴 
• Rumor is, for winter, warm up options may include an outdoor sauna so stay tuned for updates! 🧖‍♀️ 


Ice Cold Club

Explore the Williamsburg Bridge on foot, enjoying scenic views and a leisurely walk. Perfect for a relaxing stroll post Ice Cold Club session.

Bridge Walking

✅ Before you go
• Wear comfy shoes and prepare some fun music (or company) 👟 
• Bring some water if you're easily dehydrated 💦 

Williamsburg Bridge

Club on an apartment building rooftop in Williamsburg

When I first got there, I found instructors setting up two types of baths-

a group one and a solo. Not gonna lie, this part was intimidating as hell.

But the instructors really helped talk us through how to ease into it.

And the group one was a perfect starter for a newbie like me.

It also helped me meet new people, and bonus,

going through it together helped make the time fly by!

And afterwards you have plenty of energy for warm ups on their trampolines,

which side note, are almost as fun as the baths themselves.

Other activities between dips, like leg compression machines and massage guns,

help keep you plenty occupied throughout the two hour session.

But the views are so calming, they might take your focus.

Speaking of views, after the baths, I took a long walk across the Williamsburg Bridge. 

For Cryo fans and those who like new things,

I highly recommend these super relaxing Sunday morning vibes to kick your week off

Love Isn't Blind

If you've never heard the name Alli Goldberg, you're gonna wish you had sooner.

Alli is the hostess with the mostest at Love isn't Blind,

a live dating show that travels across the US

and helps Bachelorettes and other singles find their match in

a truly unique dating competition where girls have all

the power and men can rarely, if ever, speak.

women handing out bracelets based on relationship status

which come back into play later in the night. 

Once the Bachelorette is introduced and the men come to the stage,

the competition runs through several rounds of games like a slew of scandalous yes

Bachelorette answered by a simple thumbs up or down

a competition to draw the perfect date and even rounds

where she calls the contestants mothers and goes through their phones,

with some raunchy elements thrown in for fun.

The show is deliciously scandalous and Alli's work both on stage

and in the crowd had us cackling for over two hours.

audience members get to grab a drink while they

mix and mingle with the bachelors and each other. 

In an age where dating is app heavy and exhausting,

this was a super lighthearted, low pressure night and a great way to meet new friends,

the next time the show rolls into town-I might even nominate a friend.
