Mahjong continues here this winter—come discover the game or build on the skills you already have—with two more hands-on sessions in the Playhouse Café. Mahjong for beginners and intermediate players  (February 25 and March 4). Tables will be split by those who are learning the fundamentals and basic rules of play, and those who need guided practice and strategy support. All materials are provided, and both sessions are open to beginners and returning players alike. Lunch included.

David Hosack (1769-1835) transformed medicine and surgery, medicinal and agricultural botany, and the intellectual and cultural life of New York City. He knew virtually every major European scientist, and virtually every American Founder – he was the physician who attended both Hamilton and Burr at their duel. Lively and learned, American Eden was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in History (2019) and the National Book Award for Nonfiction (2018), among many other awards and prizes.
