​A reason to get together. A better way to enjoy New York.

​Try something new. Share a meal. Pick up a conversation from last month.

​Public Life Collective brings adults together on the first Sunday of each month to enjoy New York and get to know one another over time. Friends, old colleagues and people meeting for the first time are welcome. Come on your own or bring a friend; join once or return whenever you can.

​The essentials

​Date: the first Sunday shown on this event page.

​Time: generally 3–6 p.m. New York time. This is a provisional window; exact timing is confirmed closer to the date.

​Place: NYC. The borough, venue and meeting point are still to be confirmed.

​Cost: free PLC registration. You pay your own activity admission, food, transport and other purchases. We aim to keep the optional activity-and-food choices we plan at $50 per person or less.

​What we’ll do

​An exhibition to compare favorites. A game or workshop to try together. Somewhere interesting to eat and time to talk.

​Those are examples of the kinds of afternoons we’re exploring. The activity for this date is still being planned. We aim for one or two nearby stops, with room for different budgets and ways of taking part.

​Coming on your own is welcome

​You don’t need to know anyone or be especially outgoing. The shared activity gives us somewhere to begin. Talk, listen, take a break or leave when you need to.

​There is no pitching or recruiting agenda. Work can be part of ordinary conversation alongside everything else people are interested in. Please ask before photographing others.

​Your RSVP and the confirmed plan

​Register on this page; a Luma account is not required. Each person should register separately, including friends coming together. Luma will show whether your place is confirmed or waitlisted.

​Your PLC registration joins the gathering’s guest list. It may not include a separate venue ticket, meal or activity reservation. The confirmed plan will explain actual costs, what is optional, any additional booking and relevant capacity limits.

​Exact timing, the NYC location and the activity will be confirmed closer to the event. Check this page for the latest plan before buying a separate ticket or setting out. Please update your RSVP if your plans change.

​Questions before you come?

​The confirmed plan will include relevant seating, steps, walking, bathrooms, noise, food options and weather arrangements. Until a venue is selected, those details are pending.

​Email paige@paigecarter.co with any participation question. You can also use Luma’s Contact Host option when signed in, or reply to your registration email.

​A note from Paige

​I started PLC because I wanted more reasons to spend time with good people, try things around New York and keep relationships warm through shared experiences. I care about the whole afternoon, from a clear invitation and an easy-to-understand arrival to the activity, food and time to talk. The aim is an experience people can enjoy in their own way.

​A Sunday to enjoy in your own way

​Come for the activity, the food or the company. There is no assignment to complete. Join the parts of the afternoon that suit you.
