Welcome back to New York Locals 👋
Each week we round up the best of the city—new openings, events, and things to do—plus custom maps, and the latest laughs from our iconic @newyorkers column.
⋆⭒TOP 6 WEEKEND ACTIVITIES⋆⭒
1. June = Matcha Month at 85°C Bakery Café
 | 85°C Bakery Café is celebrating matcha all June with premium-grade drinks, pastries, and a free matcha pen with purchase while supplies last. Head to their Flushing location and grab yours before it's gone. |
2. $1 Oysters & $10 Margaritas Are Waiting for You in Red Hook
 | Brooklyn Crab in Red Hook is doing $1 oysters and $10 margaritas Monday through Friday from 3–6 PM, with rooftop views and outdoor seating that make it one of the better happy hour spots in the city. It's also a solid pick for catching World Cup games all summer long. |
3. If Your Dad Loves New York, This Zabar's Gift Set Is a No-Brainer
 | Zabar's new "Saul Zabar's Essential Gift for Dad" set was curated by his daughter Annie and packed with his personal favorites — Nova, rye bread, black & white cookies, his go-to coffee, and more. It's the most New York Father's Day gift you can find, straight from the Upper West Side institution. |
4. Show This Post For A Free Frozen Marg
 | Taqueria 86 on the Upper West Side is your go-to World Cup watch party spot this summer — show this post and get a free frozen margarita when you walk in. Inspired by Mexico's 1986 World Cup hosting, the vibes, tacos, and projector screen are all locked in. |
5. Skip the Run Club and Join a League Instead
 | Volo Sports makes it easy to jump into recreational softball, kickball, and more, with built-in post-game hangouts that actually help you meet people in the city. |
6. Small Business Spotlight: Suyo Mio
 | Suyo Mio Coffee just opened inside the beloved Rullo's Bar in South Slope, founded by Brooklyn barista Gerson Echevarria who spent over a decade pulling shots across NYC before building something of his own, blending Latin coffee culture with Italian espresso tradition. |
