Vegan Takes on South Asian Classics
June offers a tempting array of vegan snacks inspired by The Sudra, featuring bold and flavorful options like turmeric-roasted Brussels sprouts, masala fries, and kale pakoras. And that's just the food. The bar's mixologists have curated a diverse cocktail menu that caters to all tastes. Wash down your food with a Goodtimes (whisky, apple cider, lemon, chamomile & rose tea) or The Lowdown (rye, cognac, sweet vermouth, montenegro amaro, orange liquor, aromatic and tiki bitters) cocktail to keep the night going. From botanical draft cocktails and fruity concoctions to bold, spirit-forward drinks, June has something for everyone. Plus, it's entirely vegan, using innovative ingredients like beet sugar and agave to create delightful libations that are both flavorful and cruelty-free.

Just launched: Laughing in the Face of Chaos by Rudá Iandê
Exhausted from trying to hold it all together?
You show up. You smile. You say the right things. But under the surface, something’s tightening. Maybe you don’t want to “stay positive” anymore. Maybe you’re done pretending everything’s fine.
This book is your permission slip to stop performing. To understand chaos at its root and all of your emotional layers.
In Laughing in the Face of Chaos, Brazilian shaman Rudá Iandê brings over 30 years of deep, one-on-one work helping people untangle from the roles they’ve been stuck in—so they can return to something real. He exposes the quiet pressure to be good, be successful, be spiritual—and shows how freedom often lives on the other side of that pressure.
This isn’t a book about becoming your best self. It’s about becoming your real self.
