The days are getting longer, and summer hangouts are on the horizon. But it can be hard to come up with meetup spots that aren't the same few bars – and if you are avoiding alcohol, it's even harder. Whether you’re sober, taking an alcohol break, or just want to try something new, we’re revisiting our guide to cool spots, activities, hobbies, and events that don’t involve drinking. The conversation features host Trenae Nuri, senior producer Abby Fritz, and newsletter editor Siani Colón.
