TapIt is coming out for its second event of the summer in Union Square at 14th st., tomorrow, Saturday May the 23rd. TapIt is very excited to spend a beautiful, nearly summer day in Union Square.
TapIt will be providing plenty of information about the TapIt Network, a water bottle photo booth and plenty of engaging conversation from the TapIt team. Not only is Union Square one of the most lively places to be on a warm day, it is host to the Green Market, a wonderful array of local and organic foods from the Hudson Valley region.
So come on by, get some vegetables and meet up with TapIt. A perfect Saturday afternoon (at least we think so). Our table will be near the Southwest corner of Union Square in between the market and subway entrance. You can take the L, N, R, Q, 4, 5 and 6 trains to Union Square. See you there!
Spring is finally in full swing and TapIt is ready to have it's first summer event! 'It's My Park! Day' is an event held this Saturday, May 16th all over the city, every year, to celebrate your favorite parks in New York. We have decided to celebrate New York's great parks at McCarren Park in Williamsburg, Brooklyn with one of our founding cafe partners, Urban Rustic.
Festivities will be held from 10am to 3pm on N. 12th St. between Driggs and Union Ave. across the street from Urban Rustic in McCarren Park. To get to the event from Manhatt
an by public transit, take the L train towards the Rockaway Parkway - Canarsie Station and get off at the Bedford Ave. Stop. From N. 7th Ave and Bedford Ave. in Williamsburg walk down Bedford Ave. to 12th Ave., take a right, walk one and a half blocks and you will see Urban Rustic on your right and the Green Dome Garden on your left. Festivities will be at the Green Dome near the dog park. See you there!The Bowery Poetry Club & Cafe, known for being one of the last vestiges of the fabled East Village arts scene, joined up with the TapIt Network this week. Although all their spirited poetry, jazz and cinema events typically take place at night, the daytime cafe is always a lively place to stop in for a refill on some great tasting tap water.
Connecticut Muffin, a group of pleasant cafes located across Brooklyn, have joined the TapIt network this week. Besides having a variety of muffins, soups and sandwiches, Connecticut Muffin provides cozy couches and free Wi-Fi for customers. The new addition of great tasting filtered water refills makes a visit a must.
The Cafe Habana and the Habana Outpost were founded and designed by artist Sean Meenan with sustainability in mind. The Habana Outpost in the Fort Greene area of Brooklyn is literally a showcase of eco-friendly living. The whole place uses solar energy, they have bio-degradable plastic forks and knives, a solar cell phone recharging station and now they are a TapIt location. Check out their other nifty eco features in the photo below.
Housing Works is a wonderful organization that has been providing help to victims of AIDS and homelessness for nearly two decades. Their bookstore and cafe, located in Soho, signed on with the TapIt network today. TapIt recommends you stop in for some water, espresso and a good book (all proceeds from books and coffee go to their causes). We promise you will want to lounge for a little while once you get there.
If you are near City Hall or the Wall Street area, the TapIt network has options for your water refill needs. Made Fresh Daily Bakeshop, a delightful cafe with great lunch options on Front Street has signed up. Also, My Daddy's Pizza has signed up on Pearl Street in the Wall Street area. If you are downtown for business or pleasure, feel free to stop in and fill up!
We know that in these summer-like days, being near the water is a perfect way to stay cool. South Street Seaport is a great place to enjoy the breeze coming off of New York Bay. Our newest partner, Cyber Cafe Cigar Bar is located right on Pier 17 at South Street. Stop in and fill up on some great New York water and enjoy the waterfront!
Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass Area is now on the radar for the TapIt network. The bountiful Foragers Market in DUMBO has become the newest TapIt partner. This once industrial and now art district is home to the famous Brooklyn Flea Market, countless galleries and an amazing park. On one of these nice spring days, we suggest stopping by the Foragers Market, picking up some sandwiches, filling up the water bottles and having a picnic at the beautiful Empire-Fulton Ferry State Park on the river.
