Fans of cozy sci-fi unite! Join us for A Novel Night Out for a discussion of MONK AND ROBOT by Becky Chambers! Do you wish you were a tea monk sipping a brew in space? Do you want to connect with your fellow Becky Chambers enthusiasts? Join us for a one-off book club discussing MONK AND ROBOT, which includes A Psalm for the Wild Built and Prayer for the Crown Shy , now together in one book. We’ll begin with a discussion led by one of our booksellers, and wrap up with plenty of time to socialize with your fellow fans while sipping on refreshments. ABOUT MONK AND ROBOT: Becky Chambers' two award-winning, bestselling, beloved, and uplifting Monk and Robot stories, A Psalm for the Wild-Built and A Prayer for the Crown-Shy , together in trade paperback for the first time! Becky Chambers' delightful, post-Utopian, Hugo Award-winning series gives us hope for the future. It's been centuries since the robots of Panga gained self-awareness and laid down their tools; centuries since they wandered, en masse, into the wilderness, never to be seen again; centuries since they faded into myth and urban legend.One day, the life of a tea monk is upended by the arrival of a robot, there to honor the old promise of checking in. The robot cannot go back until the question of "what do people need?" is answered. But the answer to that question depends on who you ask, and how. They're going to need to ask it a lot. Becky Chambers' series asks: in a world where people have what they want, does having more matter? Accessibility Information: Built before the American Disabilities Act became law, the store's entrance and our larger downstairs space, including our event space, are not accessible by either an elevator or ramp.

Join Bold Fork Books at Dock5 in Union Market for An Evening with Dan Pelosi! W e'll have a conversation about the book, LET'S PARTY, and a signing line and photo op with Dan. A ll tickets include one SIGNED COPY of LET'S PARTY. DUE TO DEMAND AND CAPACITY WE WILL NOT BE ISSUING REFUNDS FOR THIS EVENT ABOUT LET'S PARTY Dan Pelosi believes every day can be a celebration—and wherever there’s a celebration, there’s a menu waiting to be planned. In his second cookbook, the New York Times bestselling author dishes out more than 100 of his larger-than-life recipes, organized into sixteen distinct dinner parties designed to take the guesswork out of what to serve when and what goes with what. Some celebrations are familiar, like Giving Thanks (but—surprise!— we’re having roast chicken), and others prove any time calls for entertaining: Breakfast for Dinner makes your pajamas party-worthy with RAISIN WALNUT BAKED FRENCH TOAST (which you can assemble ahead of time). The menus and recipes will carry you through every season of life, and of the year, too: When the sun comes out, lay out by the pool with BEANY BIKINI DIP or cool off with no-cook-tomato sauce SUNSHINE PASTA. After the showers bring forth flowers, carve out a night for LAMB CHOPS WITH TANGY APRICOT SAUCE, one of Bimpy’s forever favorites. Bet you never thought of PUMPKIN CIDER BRAISED PORK SHOULDER as a way to get your seasonal spice fix! And, of course, you’ll know when it’s time to preheat your oven to replicate Dan’s iconic Holiday Cookie Party. Whether you follow a menu as is or mix and match recipes, Dan helps you find the joy in every part of hosting, from setting the guest list to politely letting your company know when it’s time to go home, sharing his favorite family tidbits along the way (including his dad’s guide for Italian American slang—capisce?). For seasoned hosts and first-timers alike, this book is your manual. Save the date, dress up the table, and choose your outfit . . . now LET’S PARTY! ABOUT DAN DAN PELOSI is the Italian meatball making meatballs behind GrossyPelosi, the popular Instagram favorite for all things comfort and food. Approachable and tasty, Dan’s recipes are meant to be shared and celebrated with the ones you love. Dan’s first cookbook, Let’s Eat, was an instant New York Times bestseller, and his Big Italian Sandwich Puzzle is the first-ever deli sandwich jigsaw puzzle (as far as he knows!). Dan is a contributor to New York Times Cooking and appears regularly on Good Morning America. He splits his time between Brooklyn and upstate New York, but you can always find him online at @grossypelosi. Information Source: Bold Fork Books | eventbrite

Roundabout Route, 30 miles — Come full circle with a scenic loop that winds through 10 of the city’s iconic traffic circles and roundabouts, first envisioned by Pierre L’Enfant.

Along the way, you’ll encounter energizing pit stops stocked with snacks and refreshments to help keep you fueled and fired up.
