What To Do In NYC This Weekend April 13 To 15

Don't let Friday the 13th superstitions keep you from going behind the scenes of an NYC waffle empire

Sure, Friday the 13th kicks off the weekend, but don't let that keep you indoors streaming Netflix (you can re-watch Nailed It! another time). From a Brooklyn beer bash to a burrata-making class, there's plenty to do outside the confines of your couch.
