✨ One minute you’re stepping into The Bankers Club… the next, you’re inside a live baking demo with the Scone Queen herself. 🫐🧁✨
Last week, Inspire welcomed New York Times bestselling author and founder of The Hungry Gnome, Chef Danielle Sepsy (@chefdaniellesepsy ), for a special baking experience at 120 Broadway.
Guests watched Danielle create her signature blueberry crumb muffins live while sharing baking tips, tricks, and stories behind her bestselling cookbook, The Scone Queen Bakes. The afternoon also featured specialty cocktails from The Bankers Club and an incredible spread of baked treats for everyone to enjoy.
From fresh baked muffins to rooftop views, this was one sweet afternoon at Inspire. 💙

We recently hosted a Cybersecurity "Lunch & Learn" event where the NYPD and FBI taught employees about safe browsing in the modern era.
Check out this interview with Asseno Dorvil, Reynolds Colon, and Samuel Acheampong to hear what they learned and who they'll call first if they have a computer problem ;)
📻 Before Silicon Valley, there was Radio Row! ⚡️
This buzzing district once packed 400+ shops selling radios and electronic parts helped Lower Manhattan become the city's very first "electronic district."
Fast forward to today and artist Taezoo Park @digitalbeing is bringing that legacy back to life with a new, and constantly-evolving art exhibit.
"Park’s installation, which has been running indefinitely since its 2024 launch, captures some of the densely packed chaos of the original Radio Row. Park’s art is made of discarded technology, particularly TVs that were obsolete after broadcasts switched over to digital systems in 2009. The artist is giving them new life through sensors, coding and complicated wiring to connect it all. It creates a feedback loop between humans and technology, which was what Radio Row did in the first place."
It’s a reminder that innovation has always been at the very core of Lower Manhattan.
