New Yorker Discussion Group: Spring 2025 Session
Thursday, July 10, 2025
6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.
Rowayton Library

Thursdays from May 15 through July 10*

Due to unforeseen circumstances, the final New Yorker Discussion discussion is postponed to July 17. 

Maybe you already have a subscription but only consistently glance at the cartoons? Or perhaps you yearn for in-depth reporting, written well without the prefab soundbites of TV news? Or you might just like to meet up with interesting individuals to talk about current events, the latest big hit on Broadway, upcoming museum exhibits worth a look all while enjoying a sip of wine and savory bites on a beautiful spring evening.
