What Happened Last Week
Lots of outdoor activities happened last week - our sporty side took center stage as we went for the Brooklyn Ice Cream Social Half Marathon & 5K hosted by Rohan from Goldman Sachs! Our Supermomos E-Commerce friends also enjoyed the breezy weather with a picnic in Central Park, with folks from big players like Apple, Amazon, JP Morgan, Mastercard, and many more. Big thank you to Yury from Walmart E-Commerce!
All the Supermomos foodies gathered to explore the food around NYC. We went to Joy Love Club to indulge in rich Chinese fusion cuisine with many meaningful connections shared over food - big thank you to weekly supper club host Birce from Medtronic! Hosted by Kevin from Google, we checked out the Dragon Food Festival and had a blast exploring authentic Asian street foods and cultures!
