Meat Up

NYC post-Thanksgiving pig-out meetup. I have a hankering for barbecue. Join me at Daisy May's BBQ (map) at 3pm on Sunday November 29th.

from the 212 to the 718

I hereby propose that the next NYC meetup occur in Brooklyn. Thoughts? Brooklyn really isn't that far from Manhattan, especially considering the number of BMT trains that run express into over the Manhattan Bridge. We do it all the time to get to you guys. Plus, all other things being equal, a bar in Brooklyn will have cheaper drinks than a bar in Manhattan.

NYC meetup anyone?

Hello New York! My boyfriend and I are coming to visit October 24-28. I had so much fun meeting you last time I was there that I want to do it again! Sunday the 25th and Monday the 26th work best for me, but I could probably swing Tuesday the 27th too. I'm staying in Manhattan and would prefer a venue there, somewhere that's easily public transit accessible. If the venue serves food, even better!

Mental Discretion Advised.

Live from New York, it's Saturday Night!

essexjan and danf come to NYC!

ThePinkSuperhero — Wed, 09 Sep 2009 14:31:43 -0800

Hey, NYC: let's meetup on Saturday, October 3rd, to celebrate visits from essexjan and Danf. Time: 7:30 p.m. onwards; though I imagine after a few hours we'll move elsewhere for food. Place: Common Ground. We'll have some reserved space in the back. Hope to see you there!

cortex sings!

NYC Karaoke 10/07/2009 + cortex. 2nd on 2nd. The CortexTour 2009 grand finale. Opt in as the time gets closer, so that we know how big of a room to reserve.

Oh, and Cortex is going to be there too!

New York Meetup on 9/9

NYC Meetup: All of the Awesome, None of the Sauna.

ocherdraco — Thu, 23 Jul 2009 14:30:44 -0800

As discussed in the Tenth Anniversary Meetup Aftermath Thread, for the next NYC meetup we'll be starting out at the FREE Dinosaur Jr. concert at SummerStage, Sunday, August 16, 2009 from 3:00 PM to 7:00 PM. Afterparty location TBD.

Some guy: How 'bout that Citi Field? Me: You mean the green?

I wore my brand spankin' new Mets-style MetaFilter t-shirt out in the streets of New York yesterday. Hilarity ensued. There were all sorts of conversations that went something like this: Some guy: "So you like the Mets, huh?" Me: "Not really. I'm a Red Sox fan, actually." Some guy: "So why are you... oh." [awkward pause] Some guy: "What the hell does THAT mean." The alternate (and less common) conversation was a little more awkward. Some guy: [stares at my boobs] But I'm used to that one anyway.

We wanna meet some New York mefites!

By The Grace of God — Mon, 08 Jun 2009 13:46:25 -0800

My other half and I are gonna be in New York City from Tuesday, 16 June afternoon through Friday, 19 June morning. Would any of you in the NYC area like to be meeting up? We are staying here and would be up for eats, drinks, events, experiences, happenings, and sightseeing companions anytime during the trip! But we are very ignorant of NYC so would love the locals to take the lead on helping us determine the best venue for our get-together.

Do you write long-form fiction? Do you live in New York? Let's start a writers' group. I know an online MetaFilter writers' group has been tried in the past—this is not that. I'd like to get together in person with other local mefites who are writing, on a monthly basis, for workshopping, critiquing, and encouragement. Do you live in New York and would you like to join me? I intend to use the guidelines of this writers' group as a template (the major difference being that this group will be for all kinds of fiction, and not only SF).

cortex vs. NYC: the meetupening

cortex — Fri, 17 Apr 2009 12:34:57 -0800

I'll be in NYC soon (from Thurs. April 30th to Sun. May 3rd) for Gel 2009 and I'd love to have a meetup. mathowie will be in town too! Friday night or Saturday whenever would would work for me; Friday night would mean Matt can come as well, I think he takes off Saturday morning. Wife and I are staying near Times Square and know absolutely nothing about New York, so someone else is in charge of figuring out where this would happen, etc.

I love New York in the springtime

NYC Meetup, Friday, April 10th, 8:00, Sixth Ward. Everyone had their birthday parties already and BSG is over so I don't want to hear any excuses. The Sixth Ward, at 191 Orchard St., Lower East Side. 8:00. We'll see you there! This is really Optimus Chyme's dealie, but he got busy with his shoutout to Greg Nog and EmpressCallipygos on their baconing and used up his weekly MeTa stipend.

Yes, more internet-bacon stuff

Optimus Chyme — Wed, 01 Apr 2009 06:45:53 -0800

MeFi's own EmpressCallipygos and Greg Nog appeared on Good Morning America during the Bacon Takedown on Sunday in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. More pictures and stuff available here. Greg Nog made a Bacon Cake and EmpressCallipygos made Bacon Cookies.

Well-met

ocherdraco — Fri, 27 Feb 2009 23:46:24 -0800

How frequent are MeFi meetups in NYC? I'd kinda like to go to one, and see that I just missed a recent one in Brooklyn.

Maybe we'll run into Jonatham Lethem.

zoomorphic — Sat, 14 Feb 2009 14:56:46 -0800

NYC meet-up. Brooklyn represent. It's been over a month, folks. Atlantic Ave is near nearly all the subway lines, so I don't want to hear any grousing from non-Brooklyners. Brooklyn Tavern, anyone? Who's game this month and when?

This is your big chance.

Eideteker — Thu, 20 Nov 2008 10:12:26 -0800

NYC: Post-turkey meatspace gathering. I'm in town next weekend for Thanksgiving. Who wants to hang out, and where?

But this time, no White Castle sliders.

zoomorphic — Mon, 17 Nov 2008 12:34:36 -0800

Hey Metafilter, remember that time the NYC MeFites convened in Brooklyn and we chanced upon a wedding reception at the bar, and there was free champagne and desserts and fiddle-playing for everyone? And then Hot Pattata and TPS found a leprechaun's pot of gold and we all danced beneath a rainbow while showering each other with riches and jewels? Let us reprise this experience with an early December meetup. Harefield did us well last time, but I'm willing to switch bars and boroughs to coax you out. Is the evening of December 5 or 6 okay?

My university sweatshirt says ELECTORAL COLLEGE

Do any NYC folks have plans for election night? Imagining the possibility of hanging out at some place with a liquor license and a television to watch the numbers roll in... I realize this would make for a 3rd meetup in a row (and being the workaholic anti-socialite I am, I was not/will not be present at numbers 1 and 2 :() but my wife and I were hoping to get sloshed and watch the election coverage, and preferably with other people involved. Don't have any real suggestion for venue, but I'm hoping some other interested parties might have a good idea.

Fucked up?

fuq — Tue, 14 Oct 2008 11:16:44 -0800

So, I heard about the punk band Fucked Up from this post, and I'm excited to be going to the show today. Who else is going? Want to meet up? It's free and it sounds like it's going to be a good time. I've even heard rumors of free booze. I'm sure a few Mefi punk fans will be there so why don't we hang out outside of the internet, it's fun to meet new people and listen to punk rock. What time will you be there? I'll be there around 4 or 5. I look like Jesus and I'll be sporting my (almost) metafilter-blue fleece shirt. Let's get fucked up!

Frankenstein Night, anyone?

[NOT HERMITOSIS-IST] — Tue, 14 Oct 2008 10:13:56 -0800

Sci Fi Screening Room event meet-up in NYC? I've been asked to present a clip at Frankenstein Night in the East Village on Monday the 27th, and I thought it would be a good opportunity for mefites to mingle under Halloween-esque pretenses. In addition to old clips there will also be a radio-play performance of Mary Shelley's original story. Admission is $7. The venue, Under St. Marks, has a bar, and it would be a blast to go out foraging after the curtain has fallen.

NYC Meetup Anyone?

GregX3 — Fri, 10 Oct 2008 19:06:12 -0800

I just moved to the area and I'm about 30 minutes outside of NYC, so I'm probably not the one to plan it. But I'd probably show up :-)

NYC, first round on me

jewishbuddha — Sun, 05 Oct 2008 14:19:38 -0800

New York I love you, but you're bringing me down... because you don't have any meetups scheduled. We can fix this. Any interest in a meetup on Friday, Oct. 17, or Saturday, Oct. 18? In all my sidebar-watching time on MeTa, I don't think I've ever seen a time when there was no New York meetup listed in the "recent" or "upcoming" sections. I'll be working near City Hall, and staying LES, but I'm pretty flexible as to where we go and what we do. I'm more than happy to defer to locals on the details. I must admit, though, that Katz's is a highly convenient (and tasty) location for a meet-up to end, as far as I'm concerned. If that weekend doesn't work, do NY MeFites do weeknight meet-ups? I'm in Manhattan from now through Nov. 8, but my weekends are pretty limited. Other than the coming week, mid-week is cool too.
