Welcome to So Good by Meredith Gallo

When I moved to Brooklyn after what could only be described as an extended, pandemic-induced flop era, I was tired of being unhappy, and I was hungry for a new start. I had an inkling that I’d find the cure for what ailed me in community and connection. I was right. For me, that looked like getting out of my comfort zone and building a community of friends who filled my cup. It also meant seeking out cultural experiences that my nerdy 11-year-old self would have killed to add to her very empty social calendar.

What can you expect from So Good?

• NYC Under $50 newsletter: This is a weekly newsletter that will include film screenings, theater, literary talks, book events, comedy, etc. It will also help you keep tabs on art exhibits and other extended-run events that are worth seeing.

• Musings: This occasional newsletter is fairly wide-reaching and includes anything I find worth digging into with a little humor.

• Shoppable content: I worked at a product review site for 6 years, and I’m finding it extremely difficult to stop giving shopping advice. I try to limit this to insider shopping tips and shopping lists for events you can throw to impress your fabulous friend IRL! (I am not currently using affiliate links.)

If any of this sparks even the tiniest bit of joy, hit subscribe. I promise we’ll have a good time!
