New Yorker Discussion Group
Thursday, September 11, 2025
6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.
Rowayton Library

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 crisp fall evening. If so, this group is for you!
