Would you like the chance to support some of New York City's most iconic restaurants including Joe's Pizza, Atoboy, Estela, Gramercy Tavern and more?

Gourmand 52

Gourmand 52 is a deck of playing cards featuring original, hand-drawn illustrations of New York City's most iconic restaurant dishes, highlighting the city's uniquely vibrant, historic and innovative food scene. Now that's definitely something to bring out at your future dinner parties.

With support from S.Pellegrino® Sparkling Natural Mineral Water, Acqua Panna® Natural Spring Water, and Bentobox, the Gourmand team is launching limited edition decks that are available for purchase now at gourmandcommunity.com. Get yours today! - how cool would it be to own the first edition deck that holds so much of New York's culture?

Fifteen percent of proceeds from the cards sold will directly benefit ROAR (Restaurants Organizing, Advocating & Rebuilding). If you're unfamiliar with ROAR - ROAR was born in March 2020, founded by a group of industry professionals impassioned to fight for unemployed restaurant workers facing financial hardship and to advocate for an industry in crisis. If the card deck wasn't enticing enough, supporting this mission definitely is!

To celebrate the launch, Josh Beckerman, otherwise known as Foodie Magician, will be putting on a ticketed Magic Show at Gertie on November 11th from 6:30-9:00. Purchase tickets here.

Gourmand 52: Crypto Edition

The team is also launching an NFT (Non-fungible Token) collection of the artwork on October 15th at 4PM ET at opensea.io/gourmand52. NFT Owners will receive an exclusive membership to the group, allowing them access to special events and unique perks that span both the metaverse and real world. They will also receive a special edition of the physical deck, as well as opportunities for one of a kind restaurant experiences with world-class chefs and industry leaders. Join the Discord and stay tuned on Twitter for giveaways and announcements.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
