Have you ever felt that when you meet as a Fire sign , you meet another fire sign and you instantly click. It feels like you know them, or you are at ease with them.   Wouldn't it be wonderful if you can mingle amongst you type.  I have personally built lasting friendships and did not know they were also fire signs until I asked.  Strangely Pleasant, right!! This group is open for all  who may be curious to meet other Fire Signs and see what happens when a bunch of us get together for fun and to …

If you enjoy marketing and enjoy having fun then you are going to LOVE this group! Entrepreneurs share a common disease.  Don't worry it's a great disease to have.  Our brains simply work differently than everyone else and sometimes the rest of the world just doesn't understand how we operate and why we get so excited about our businesses. But luckily we totally get it! Welcome to a group where we get to hang out with crazy entrepreneurs just like ourselves and discuss the stuff that only we …

Want to get together to explore Williamsburg venues? With so many options (the flea market, restaurants, cafes, parks (ok--not so much, but there's McCarren, etc)... I started this group because I'm new to Williamsburg and looking forward to meeting people who live in or frequent the neighborhood. Looking forward to exploring the area (indoors and outdoors). I'm also open to planning a few events outside of Williamsburg (e.g. Gowanus, Park Slope etc.) when there's a good idea for an event somewh …

This group will bring young professionals from the NYC area together for fun activities outside of the typical NY bar scene.

Things can always be better expressed, more elegant and simple, more mutable, higher quality, etc. 4. You know tools are great, but they only take you so far.

Make Meaningful Connections It’s uncomfortable being the outsider. We’ve all been there: walking into a room where everybody else seems to know each other and nobody gives you a second glance. Or worse, they give you a second glance and still decide not to say hi. Ouch! The technology and startup scenes can be even more intimidating, especially to women. Many events are attended by mostly male technologists who either all know each other or aren’t really the social type. How do you break the ice …

I couldn't find a group for casual social meetings. As a relative newcomer to the area, and someone at home during the daytime, there didn't seem to be a lot of opportunity to meet people outside specific interest groups. It's great to have a hobby you're passionate about, but also nice to just chat over coffee or go out on an occasional visit - maybe to lunch, park, museum, or a tourist spot. In other words a social group that doesn't just focus on one thing. I also wanted a group that wasn't t …

There are a variety of choices we have to start some weekly / bi-weekly / or monthly meetups and I want …

This group is for people who want to experience many Asian foods and drinks with a focus on pub style cuisine.  Mainly basement sake bars and yakitori spots. But Izakaya is an umbrella group description as I have other events planned outside what would be described as an Izakaya. Things like tea & dessert, Korean BBQ, any local Far East events like movies and concerts. Also its not so much an "exchange" as you won't find any American style bars/eateries on the agenda. Sharing language and cultur …

We are a non-profit group of bold, quirky tipsters who give advice for 25 cents in public places in the city.

The purpose of this group is to get together a great group of talented, highly motivated actors who want to work on scenes and possibly creating new projects together simply for the love of acting. Why can't a group of people work on plays together outside of a classroom environment which can be costly and repetitive? Let's meet once a week to work on scenes, give each other the opportunity to engage in the art that we love and inspire one another.

Are you a bodhisattva who would like to meet other bodhisattvas for friendship and business networking? Allow Bodhi Lounge to fulfill your need …
