Each week the Neighborhood Pulse asks what you'd love to have nearby. Local businesses see the answers, make the best ideas real, and you're the first to know.

PreorderThings a business or neighbor made because you asked. Preorder, reserve a spot, or join in.
You don't preorder a game night. Each question offers answers that make sense for it, so businesses know what neighbors are ready to do.
Preorders tell the pizzeria how many to make.
Reserved spots tell the bar how many tables to hold.
Sign-ups tell the café how much to roast.
We only ask when a business or a neighbor is ready to make the answer real. Then the Pulse shows you what happened.
An example of how it works. The first real neighborhood stories will appear here.

You'll see more of what you care about, and now and then something new. That's how neighbors meet.
Game nights, new food, run clubs, and people to do them with.
Kids' classes, family weekends, and other families nearby who want the same things.
Afternoon socials, concerts, and good company close to home.
We hand out SOFE cards around the neighborhood. Every member also has 3 invites to share.
The card or invite link takes you straight to this week’s Pulse.
Tell us where you live. We check by hand when we need to, so everyone here is a real neighbor.

Sprout ($59 once) reads school email and grades, then tells you what's due and where your kids need practice. SOFE for families ($99 once) adds Otis for the rest of home.
Yes. Neighborhood is free for residents. If a business makes something you want, you buy it from them directly, the same way you always would.
Businesses see totals, like "41 interested, 18 ready to preorder." They never see your name, email, or address.
So everyone in the Pulse is a real neighbor. Cards and invites keep it local, and each member can bring in 3 more people.
Murray Hill and Turtle Bay, from 1st to 3rd Avenue and 34th to 50th Street. We will open more blocks over time, and the waitlist shows us where people want SOFE next.
No. We add members slowly and choose carefully, mostly through SOFE cards and member invites. The waitlist helps us see where interest is, and we reach out when there is a good fit.
No. Neighborhood works on its own. If you have kids in school, you can add Sprout ($59 once) or SOFE for families ($99 once) whenever you like.
We're opening SOFE slowly, a few neighbors at a time, so the first members can help shape it. Tell us where you live and what you'd love to see. The waitlist helps us decide where to open next. It doesn't guarantee a spot.
