An Italian Celebration! 🇮🇹 Essere pieno come un uovo! 🥚

Monday, July 20th Update: Hi everyone! I emailed La Tazza D’Oro, our lunch spot, for a reservation last Tuesday and I just realized they already replied. Unfortunately La Tazza staff said “For groups of 10 or more, we require a minimum spend of $30 per person, and a 20% gratuity is added to the final bill.” Here’s their lunch menu: [https://www.latazzadoro.us/menus/#food](https://www.latazzadoro.us/menus/#food) I reached out to our attendees and five people are ok with it, so we will keep La Tazza as our lunch venue. With that said, I totally understand if you no longer want to join us for lunch. Of course no matter what you decide, you’re more than welcome to join us before and after the lunch too! Please see full event details below. \-\-\- On Saturday, July 26th we're enjoying Italy's finest! 🇮🇹 Event is free. You’re welcome to join and leave whenever! (If joining for lunch at La Tazza, please try to show up on time!)

SpeakIt Language Exchange: Meet friends, practice, and share a language!

SpeakIt is a group where the goal is to **practice and learn languages** naturally: By talking and meeting new people! 🥳 this, of course, includes English learners 😍. [Traducción](https://www-meetup-com.translate.goog/speakit-nyc/events/299532447/?_x_tr_sl=en&_x_tr_tl=es&_x_tr_hl=en&_x_tr_pto=wapp&_x_tr_hist=true) We hope to have all the cultures that New York City represents, so we welcome **any language and all language levels**. Here's how it works: 1. 👨‍🎓You spend part of your time practicing a language you are learning; 2. 🧑🏻‍🏫You spend the other part of your time speaking in your native language, helping others! *(even if you only speak one language, that's fine)* When you arrive at the venue, we will have flag stickers 🇺🇳 representing any country of your choosing. Put your most fluent language on top and any language(s) you are learning or already know below. Then find someone else wearing a flag and say hi in your preferred language 👋🏼. **FAQ's** * 💰**Event is $2 (suggested, cash or Venmo)** to help cover the cost for the flags and the meetup subscription. * 🍻Please support the venue that hosts us by ordering something from the bar. 😎 * ***Will there be speakers of (my language) here?*** That depends! We don't organize who comes to the event, so we can't be 100% sure your language will be there. You may want to invite a practice buddy, or message us in advance and we can try to find you one. Otherwise come say Hi and find out! * **Can I show up late?** Show up any time during the event. * Coming alone? Welcome! Just bring a friendly face and some words. * Or feel free to bring along some friends, too. **When and Where:** * [Heart of Gold Bar](https://goo.gl/maps/csmu6MycKxirFvYv9), Astoria * Get off at Broadway on the N/W train or Steinway M/R. * Look for the flag table out back and say hi!
