Welcome to Sugary’s 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, and food events to help you build meaningful connections and find your people.

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: A Bi-Weekly Newsletter 💌

Every 1st and 15th of the month, you’ll get the Sugary Scoop, a fun biweekly newsletter that includes:

  • One community announcement

  • One inspiring story

  • One invite to upcoming events

  • One new experience

  • One artist spotlight

  • And so much more

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 Access to Member-Only Events, Services, Perks, Discounts and More 😎

I’ve had the great fortune of living in the city that never sleeps for over 20 years now, and I’ve been fortunate to create a community of creatives, artists, foodies, fashionistas, titans of industries, change-makers, and some shakers.

Now, I want to help you build yours.

The Sugary Social isn’t just another community. 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.

By signing up for the Sugary Social, you get:

Exclusive Access: Be the first to know and the first to go. Our members enjoy priority access to a curated selection of Sugary events that embody the spirit of NYC's art, music, and cultural scenes.

Member-Only Events: Access special events that are only available to members, from secret concerts to rooftop parties to intimate gatherings, making you feel like a VIP at the coolest spots in NYC.

Community Warm Intros: Conscious curated connections for both personal and professional reasons. Plus, join networking events tailored to specific industries or interests.

Delectable Discounts: Get discounts on everything from food/drinks to fun workshops, to wellness classes making the membership pay for itself after just one night out.

Bespoke Cultural Happenings: First looks on cool happenings, advance screenings, rare curated salons and so much more.

Learning & Development: Join workshops or talks on topics ranging from creating art to personal finance, adding value to your social and intellectual life.

Birthday Love: We love celebrating birthdays. Get access to special perks and freebies on your special day.

All of this, for just $20/month or $199/year ($40 discount)

One of these perks alone would cover your cost for the community. But we don’t stop there.

You’ll also get access to our:

  • Private Whatsapp group for exclusive, spontaneous events, revealed at the last moment called 🍬¡Sugar Rush!🍬

  • Special access to my community of artists, music producers, event curators, culinary influencers, and entrepreneurs

  • For just $20/month or $199/year ($40 discount), you get the best of NYC in your pocket. The best of community, art, music, culture, and the undeniable sweetness of living a life filled with joy and connection.
