Head to Windham Manor

If you're looking for a wellness retreat that doesn't require a flight,

I met so many amazing women and spent the weekend doing all of my favorite things.

There were daily workouts, guided hikes in the woods, a sound bath meditation,

We went to Windham Manor just three hours north of the city. It

has this beautiful barn attached to it where we’d do most of our workouts,

There was even a gym downstairs if you wanted to do your own thing.

We had private chefs come in and prepare healthy lunches and dinners

and everything was so tasty and so nutritious.

Probably the craziest thing we did all weekend was a cold plunge,

I spent it reading, making friendship bracelets, and journaling.

This was my favorite event to-date, and I can't wait to go to the next one.

Love musicals? Love food? You're in for a treat! This isn't your average movie screening, but one that comes with a multi-course dinner themed to the film - and yes, it's as good as it looks 🍿 

Sensory Movie and Dinner at Fork n' Film🍴🎥

Enjoy a unique movie night at Fork n' Film, where themed multi-course dinners are timed to movie scenes for an unforgettable sensory dining experience in FiDi, NYC.

Movie Dinner Experience

✅ Before you go
• Assemble the group chat, pick your movie and grab tix online (don't worry, they're not all singalongs): https://www.forknfilm.com/
• Come hungry - there's a full menu of themed bites to make your way through
• Dress up, if you dare - costumes and themed T's are welcome
• Arrive early for pre-show fun in the form of bubbly and popcorn (a perfect sweet and salty pairing IMO)

💪 Pro tips
• Don't be shy - get vocal, take pictures, do you. They're ok with it all (just be sure to tag them 😉)
• Book with a friend/group - the more people join, the more fun you'll have
• Snap manyyyyyyy pictures. You'll want to remember the food, I guarantee it
• Pace yourself, the food may look fun but it is also dangerously delish and you'll want to try everything

Fork n' Film

I had so much fun at Fork n' Film's Fork and Sing night.

It was a Wicked sing-along with food themed to the movie.

The screening came with dishes that were perfectly themed and

timed to various scenes and big moments in the movie.

The green elixir and lollipopular martini were a green and pink delight,

both served with edible glitter and a touch of whimsy.

I may have had a little too much fun with these 🤭

I definitely did with the singalong after.

from Dancing through Rice served in a book

to complement the scene in the Shiz library,

to nearly showstopping Emerald City gnocchi,

which perfectly matched the dazzling Oz vibes.

They also did a good job at accommodating my vegetarian requests.

At no point did I feel like I missed out on the foodie experience.

With so many other movies and menus to try,

my friends and I will definitely be back for another round.

Although it will be tough to top this high note that we ended on.

And why were we all tearing up at what everyone had to say?

where they had these random deep questions like,

who was the first friend that you didn't have to explain your background to?

and each one had a different topic like love,

This was a night of listening and release,
