Events in the Next Two Weeks

Sep 24, 2025

Here are the next two weeks’ worth of events from Maximum New York. Come along! You can find all of these and more on the Maximum New York calendar.

Tuesday, September 30: Open Office Hours (7:30am-10am)

Come to office hours if:

You’re a student in one of my classes, and you want to work on homework or discuss class content. If you’re in the Liberal Arts class, you can use this time to lock in reading without a phone.
You want to talk about New York City politics.
You’re interested in Maximum New York and want to learn more.
You want to say “hi”!

Please RSVP to office hours so you can receive event blasts via Luma; I will use these to say where exactly in the cafe I’ve set up shop.

Foundations of New York class field trip to the MTA September Regular Board meeting (but if you’re not in class, you can tag along too).

In this evening, you’ll walk away with more knowledge about the federal government than almost anyone walking around NYC right now.

We’ll cover:

Basic history
The shape of the federal government and law
Weird facts about how the government works that you can use as a BS detector when talking to others
How to learn more, and how to think about doing federal politics

Evening proceedings:

And make sure you’re ready to embrace the Maximum New York rules of etiquette while at this event.

We’ll all be introduced to the coolest pigeon themed bookstore in NYC!

You’ll get to:

Proceedings:

After this we will walk over to Green-Wood Cemetery. You can come along or go your separate way.

I’ll be hanging around the base of the Little Red Lighthouse, Manhattan’s only remaining lighthouse!

Come to hang out, do “seeing” homework if you’re in Foundations of the Liberal Arts, or talk about schemes to make New York City better!
