Welcome to the NYC Wine Bar Meetup! We created this group as a way to network with other wine enthusiasts who enjoy hanging out and drinking wine at some of the city's best wine bars. At each meetup we'll pick a new wine bar to check out, and we hope that you'll join us! While our common interest is wine, ultimately, we hope that this group will be an opportunity to meet and network with New Yorkers who would like to discuss topics beyond wine. In keeping with the intimate atmosphere at most win …

Every Thursday we get together at Pane e Vino, a local Bar/Restaurant in Cobble Hill for a night of Argentine Tango. There is live tango music by the trio Importango (Machiko Ozawa, violin; Octavio Brunetti, piano; Adam Tully, guitar).  Regulars hang out at the Bar and Lounge, and couples and small groups have dinner or just a glass of wine. It's not a milonga (dance event) but dancers come by every week to enjoy the atmosphere and listen to the music they love. Inevitably one or two couples get …

This Meetup Group is for people with an interest in all-things-science to get together, and not just on Saturdays. Maybe you often find yourself starting to tell a science-related story at a party, only to trail off awkwardly when you realize that you're not as clear on the details as you thought. Or your friends are hinting that they'd really rather not hear about Planet Earth anymore. Quite possibly, while others reminisce about Saturday morning cartoons, you fondly recall watching Mr. Wizar …

This group will be centered around fun activities, mostly involving sports, food, and drinking and various combinations of both. Pubs and Bars will generally be chosen over super-loud dance clubs unless that is something people here really want to have. I' …

Let's discuss and dissect what makes a great awards ceremony and learn from each other!

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 …

This group is for people who want to study fundamental physics and math topics in depth, with the help of others, and with the extra motivation, and fun, that comes from group study.  We choose a topic to learn about -- such as quantum field theory, relativity, or Hamiltonian mechanics -- then teach ourselves the topic at the graduate/advanced-undergrad level, before moving on.  Courses are self-taught, and last as long as needed: generally one semester.  We make use of on-line videos and lectur …

Most of us agree that most people, in this day and age, are under a toxic load.  We are constantly exposed to environmental toxins not only in industrial chemical exposures, but in our every day life including our food, laundry detergent, hair care products, etc but in the air we breath, the water we drink and the beds we lay in. The cost of these toxins is not completely understood nor should it be underestimated!  Toxins have the capacity to rewire us - to change our thoughts, behaviors and de …

Games that usually have simple rules, relatively short playing times, and no player elimination, so they’re pretty accessible to newcomers. If you want to know more feel free to check out the (still being written) FAQ, but in a nutshell we're …
