Café X

A new kind of night out.

Café X is a series of small, intimate speaker events at local cafés in NYC. One speaker, one fascinating topic, 20–40 curious people. It's the most interesting thing happening on any given night.

What is Café X?

Someone who knows something cool talks about it for 30 minutes. Then there's Q&A, conversation, and hanging out. It's relaxed, social, and fun — not a lecture hall. Think of it as a dinner party conversation, but with strangers who are into the same stuff you are.

The kind of stuff people come to learn about

From the obscure to the everyday — if it's interesting, we want to hear about it.
