TED R. (Dec 28, 2006)

"It's refreshing to meet and connect to a vast group of different backgrounds and interests. Making friends is easy but keeping the connections is even harder. But I'm sure if I go to enough of these meetup events, it'll eventually be that much more easier. (And if I can recall all your names, that would be even cooler! Haha.)"

About this Meetup


"I'll admit I got the idea for this group from OHNY. So until their next open house rolls around, we can explore New York on our own. New York has a long history, so... let's explore! " Rebekah




Our events are varied, from visiting Governor's Island, to visiting ethnic neighborhoods, to canoeing. I'm sure everyone can find something they like.
