Anyone interested in Manhattan real estate will find this a useful resource. As a seasoned real estate agent in the rental and sales spheres, I have found that people don't know all they need to know when making critical decisions. Reading the New York Times or Time Out New York only gives snippets of a very large picture. Coming together and discussing the issues involved will certainly help navigate the maze that is New York!

New York Singles welcome! NYC is so big, yet there are so many singles who are looking for a match in NY. Lets make it singles less, or at least meet great, fun people and have a amazing time to remember. As we grow up in the New York City, our old friends seem to get married and move-on. All those wild times are now a distant memory. You could go to a dating coach in ny for some advice, but you still should get out there on your own. Sometimes we are still single, and need to do what singles do …

Brenna, the "organizer" says:  I started this group because my "clutter" problem was beyond clutter, and had crossed the line. I searched for a support group in the New York City area and found nothing, aside from online groups, which are great! Do you belong in this group? Ask yourself these questions. Is my house or apartment so messy I don't have anyone over to visit? Do you keep things (empty boxes, old magazines, out of print sheet music, business cards, pens that don't work anymore, shopp …

If you are looking for a serious book club in which they discuss the deep meaning of the books please note this is not the one for you. We are a fun, sometimes serious, most times not so serious book club. We all enjoy reading (well of course we do) and have read some very good books and unfortunately a couple not so good books. Our discussions can last from five minutes to an hour and it really depends upon the book. We read primarily contemporary fiction, but we're open to anything. Some of ou …

Startup Waffles was started by the StartupDigest co-founders Chris & Brendan to bring together founders and hackers for tasty waffles. For our first Waffle event we had no idea what to expect but 80 Founders ended up coming to our small apartment including a TechCrunch writer, 3 VC’s, and companies were giving tech demos!! It was crazy. Since our first success and since holding Startup Waffles events in NYC and Kansas City we decided to create this into a regular event. Join to stay up to date o …

In the dead of the night, the city skyline is punctuated with lit windows. We like to think they're people sitting in their apartments working on their side project or big idea. When everyone you know is in bed, you're hunched over your laptop. There are too few hours in the day and too many things you want to do. Sound like you? Join us!

I recently moved to Greenpoint to enjoy living in this fantastic neighborhood. This meetup is for people who have also moved here in the last few months and are interested in meeting people who are also new. I will be hosting a party in my new apartment and I will be planning events to see some of the sites, food and local flavor. If you're interested in joining, I look forward to meeting you!

Living in an apartment with a dog is often a challenge, especially when that dog was bred to run full tilt for 12 hours a day! As someone living with a border collie, I often get stressed out about finding enough for him to do. I'm sure other people with herding dogs feel the same and I figure it might be fun to get together and do things with our energetic companions. This purpose of this meetup group is to meet other border collie (and similar breed) lovers, learn about training techniques an …

Are you a working professional or college student who prefers the company of other geeks? Do you find yourself frequently wishing there was some sort of watering hole for people like you who watch Adult Swim, revel in the joys of DDR/video games, read esoteric books, and indulge shamelessly in intelligent debate? Do you hate hipsters with an undying passion? Do you need people to drink shamelessly with in order to summon the courage to get on stage to croon in front of a large crowd of karaoke g …

We pride ourselves on being a smallish close knit group - that's also an ever-expanding network! We host brunches, happy hours, nights out, group workouts, dinners and other fun outings. At our core, we're about developing meaningful, real friendsh …

We are a group of gay guys of all ages who meet the first Wednesday of every month. We read an eclectic range of books from classics to just-released works. We don't necessarily read books with a gay theme or characters, but always open to suggestions. Very easy going; more social than academic. Generally we talk about the book for the first part of the meeting and then the conversation evolves (or maybe devolves) to talking about anything else:  pop culture, gay life, vacations, etc.  We meet a …

The Northwestern Queens Paranormal Research Group (NQPRG) has recently been named as one of the top two paranormal meetups in the metro region by meetup.com.

This is a group for individuals in the Tri-state region who are interested in exploring all aspects of the afterlife and those parts of nature that so …
