City Vineyard New York and Read650 present “Coming of Age” Sunday, October 16 at 2 PM (doors open at 12:30).

For a young black girl, 1959 meant her first encounter with the KKK. For the daughter of a poet, it meant emerging from the shadow of her poet father. There’s a man who's taken marriage one day at a time—for the last 54 years!—and a fourth grader with a first-time Valentine. Eat, drink and be regaled by these gifted writers—with a meet and greet reception to follow. Join us! 

Read650 is a nonprofit literary forum creating memorable experiences for writers and audiences alike. Through curated performances, Read650 celebrates writers' gifts to tell their stories, with popular live events and podcasts that take listeners inside another’s experience to confront fear; express outrage; and share hilarity–five minutes and 650 words at a time. Come see!

These popular live shows and podcasts are a pleasure for writers and audiences alike—events that take you inside a writer’s experience with stories that are sometimes hilarious, sometimes heartbreaking, and always engaging. And of course, it’s a unique mid-Sunday opportunity to indulge your senses with wine-inspired hospitality! • PURCHASE TICKETS •
