Every 4 years, this insane world of ours reunites in the name of sport. The event, which shall remain nameless, is hosted in Paris this year. Or so we're told. To celebrate, we've installed a projector screen in our West Village flagship for some daily watch parties. We'll have drinks available for the very good price of $0. Take that "WFH" day... We'll see you inside.
