Each month, our Masters of Social Gastronomy lectures bring you the history and science behind your favorite foods. Up this month: soda
Caffeine, cocaine, and a little bit of fizz were all it took to hook America on a brand-new beverage. We'll dissect Coca-Cola's namesakes, exploring the now-illicit 'Coca' and the Africa-sourced 'Cola'. What joined these two bitter, unappealing flavors into the most iconic of soda flavorings?
But don't forget...
Adventure Club is our new home for walking tours and other fun explorations all around the city.
Check out the latest offerings over on the site, including nighttime listening tours in Prospect Park, Brooklyn's waterfront history, and lots of street art.
Below are a few photos from some recent tours around the boroughs!

The weather has been fantastic of late, so get out there and enjoy it!
We are very excited to be partnering with our friends at Saddleshoe Tours to offer two new tours that will open your eyes to the amazing street art scene in our fair borough.
Join us either July 12th in Bushwick OR July 17th in Williamsburg.
If you're feeling SUPER ambitious, why not do both? Then impress all of your friends with your extensive street art...
