I can immediately think of several NYC-specific hacks. For instance, some that would be immediately deployable in Jackson Heights, Queens.

I've lived in Brooklyn NY for over 10 years, and I had South Asian roommates for 6 years (college and after), which has led to having many South Asians in my circles of friends.

I also have a lot of personal experience in NYC-based promotion 'hacking' (I've successfully promoted a lot of my own events/classes in the past).

Send me a message if you'd like to brainstorm on a call,

all the best,

Lee
