Translation on Tap in NYC, Jan. 1 – 31, 2019

It’s a new year, we have a new House of Representatives, and let’s hope it will be a year of liberating, positive change. If you weren’t sure what to pick as a New Year’s resolution, there’s always the great option: attend more translation events. They attract kind, internationally oriented folks and are a great way to spend an evening in excellent company (as well as learning things, being entertained, edified, uplifted…).

Here’s what’s on tap:
