Welcome to Sugary NYC Newsletter 🍬

Hello! I’m Gary Su AKA Sugary, and welcome to my little corner of the internet where I share the best of New York’s art, music, culture, wellness, and food events to help you build meaningful connections and find your sweet spot in our community.

Here’s the Scoop

My job is to help you connect, build, and grow meaningful relationships in NYC and there’s two ways I do this.

1. The Sugary Scoop & Sugary & Friends IRL Events: Bi-Weekly Newsletter 💌

Every Monday, you’ll receive a newsletter to keep you connected and inspired:

The Sugary Scoop: Every other week, dive into a fun-filled newsletter featuring:
- One community announcement
- One inspiring story
- One invite to upcoming events
- One new experience

Sugary & Friends IRL Events: On alternate weeks, get exclusive invites and updates on our incredible in-real-life (IRL) events from our community leaders and friends, designed to connect and inspire our community.

This newsletter alone will help you see and experience the magic of NYC that I love so much. If you haven’t already, you can subscribe to the newsletter using the button below!

2. The Sugary Social: An Inviting Community That Gets You All-Access Pass to Sugary Events, Special Perks, Discounts and More 😎

For over 20 years, I’ve called the city that never sleeps home, building a network of creatives, artists, foodies, and visionaries. Now, I’m sharing that magic with you through The Sugary Social—a community that connects you to the most vibrant people and experiences NYC has to offer.

This isn’t just a membership; It’s a movement dedicated to uncovering the sweetest experiences New York has to offer, all while helping you build meaningful connections that last a lifetime.

Congratulations on your first Newsletter Sugary!!! This was an amazing read. As a lover of music, discovering new artist to obsess about is one of my favorite things to do. I am soooo looking forward to reading more sugary newsletters and hopefully reconnecting sometime soon ❤️
