Cuddle Parties, Sounds Creepy To Me

by Anil Polat | Oct 9, 2007 | Culture | 0

Cuddle parties are events held in people’s homes where attendants go to show “non-sexual” affection to each other.

A structured, safe workshop on boundaries, communication, intimacy and affection. A drug and alcohol-free way to meet fascinating people in a relaxing environment. A laboratory where you can experiment with what makes you feel safe and feel good.

This playful, fun workshop has been a place for people to rediscover non-sexual touch and affection, a space to reframe assumptions about men and women, and a great networking event to meet new friends, roommates, business partners and significant others.

Cuddle parties look to “restore members’ faith in humanity”. You can find a cuddle party near you or get more information at CuddleParty.com.

Visitors and residents of Arlington can enjoy food Italian food, Naples-style prepared at the Pupatella Food Cart. The Pupatella’s founders and resident cooks, Enzo Algarme and Anastasiya Laufenberg have fried calzone, palle de riso, and caprese salad available from 8am to 330pm daily.

The Express recommends trying the thin-crust margherita pie, on the Pupatella’s unique menu.

The duo’s range of offerings in addition to pizza is ambitious, as passers-by acknowledged in our recent visit when they read the specials board, which included fried calzones, stuffed rice balls, potato croquettes, ravioli and tiramisu and cannolis for dessert.

Personally, I’d pick up a Pupatella croissant with Nutella. The Pupatella Food Cart is located at the corner of N. Stuart and 9th Streets in Arlington, VA – right outside of the Ballston Metro Station.
