UPCOMING EPD EVENTS
 Ha-Joon Chang Book Talk
When: Monday, February 20, 2023
Time: 5:30 - 6:30 PM
Location: IAB 1512
Ha-Joon Chang will talk about his new book, Edible Economics: A Hungry Economist Explains the World. According a Guardian review, he uses brief meditations on the history of trade or flavour of different foodstuffs to illustrate economic truths. If there is a single message in the book, it is that you should run a mile from any politician preaching a single narrow economic faith. Chang looks at economic theory as a buffet rather than a set menu; and believes fusion always creates better flavour than monoculture.

Check out this list of one-off, Valentine’s Day specials from some of the city’s best restaurants.
Celebrate Valentine’s Day in style with a romantic champagne cruise on Classic Harbor Line in New York City. Set sail on a luxury yacht and take in the breathtaking views of the Manhattan skyline and iconic landmarks such as the Statue of Liberty and the Brooklyn Bridge.
Strolling through Central Park can be romantic all year round. The best thing about it? It’s completely free! Whether you’re planning on popping the question or not, definitely make sure to walk by Bow Bridge.
A very popular location not only to spend Valentine’s Day in NYC but also to propose is the iconic Empire State Building! Just imagine standing on top of the skyscraper, overlooking the rest of the city, while holding and keeping each other warm. If you want to go a step further, it may be good to know that you can also marry or renew your vows on the Empire State Building!
