What Readers Say
"I leave every single Reading Rhythms party feeling like skipping all the way home even if the work day preceding it makes me tired or kind of cranky. I love seeing the stars in all your eyes as you depart as well, gives me goosebumps!"
— Regular Attendee
"I'm 88 years old and moved to Hudson Yards to be closer to my grandkids. I think this is a wonderful idea."
— Judith
"We're embedded with everyday superficial conversations, the kind of small talk that is essentially bland, useless and tasteless. RR gives people the chance to connect similar people together in the same room."
— Community Member
"That first event I attended was really cool for me because I'd been wanting to just read more often and making a plan to just go somewhere and read really kept me accountable to that."
— NYC Newcomer
"I'm so glad I found Reading Rhythms! I had no idea how much I needed and wanted to connect with other readers. Last night was another exceptional experience, full of connection, laughter, and community."
— Stacee
"Event space was great. Host brought great energy. Really enjoyed the quiet time reading and the conversation in the middle. Did get slightly distracted by the music (but only because it was good and I was Shazam'ing it)."
— Bradley Layton
"It reminded me why I attend Reading Rhythms in the first place. Not only do they care about the readers, but they also champion the small businesses that helped shape this community in the first place."
— Andres
"I really enjoyed the choice to read by the sea, the atmosphere, and the connection that was created with the other readers."
— Bernardina (Amalfi Coast)
