Meetups in Your Neighborhood

Meetup with your neighbors!
Meetups got its start in almost reverse fashion from most successful networking organizations: With people meeting face-to-face (Their tagline: Get on the Internet to get off the Internet!). Neither a dating service (though it includes plenty of dating opportunities) nor a way to virtually stalk former classmates, the organization uses the 'net as a medium to help people to connect, exchange ideas and information, and get together, In Real Life, with others in their location, around a specific purpose or interest. The range of topics with thriving Meetups is huge, and includes the usual (books, sports, business, dating, health and hobbies) as well as the unusual (dumpster-diving), the broad (fitness), the extremely specialized (vintage hair styles) and just about everything in between.
Because the groups are local, New York City is the perfect place to take advantage of them. A very brief sampling of the city's local Meetups includes, The NYC East Side Small Dog People Group, The Wall Street Lunch Club, New to Chelsea and Thirty-Something Social Group, The Local Video Meetup, The Williamsburg Small Business Owners Meetup Group, The Bronx Republican Party Meetup, Bronx Mural Artists Wanted, and the The Park Slope Home Office Lunch Club Meetup Group. Browse the seemingly endless selection of neighborhood-specific Meetups, or start your own, and really get to know your neighbors.
