This group is for New York Professionals, between the ages of 35 and 55, who are looking to make friends. Is there a better way to spend an evening than a stimulating conversation over drinks? We are not looking to explore the city or seek a heart-stopping adventure. At the end of a hard week, we are looking to unwind in a cool lounge with a good cocktail and interesting company. After all, there are no strangers in New York: just friends you have not yet met! If you are looking to spend time in …

This group will have one solitary purpose... to provide great bang-for-buck opportunities in New York City. Instead of spending $12-15 per drink over a couple of hours plus tip, spend one amount that covers ALL drinks. Most times a portion of proceeds will also go to good causes. Sign up... the worse thing that can happen is you decide not to go :)

Specifically, I'd love to try Buttermilk Channel, Frankie's 457, Prime Meats, Char No. 4, Brooklyn Inn, Fragole, Minibar, Sample, Ki Sushi, Saul, B …

This group is for those hard working professionals looking to kick back, relax, make new friends, acquaintances, or maybe just drinking buddies - whatever, we don't judge...

This group is for all the post-grads (college or graduate school) in their 20s who recently moved to NYC. We're all the same...we recently graduated...we're not sure how to stop our antics and we are refusing to give up on our drinking habits. 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' …

People in New York always seem to say, "This is a tough city in which to meet people." This group was designed to make it a whole lot easier. Drinking with Strangers is about bringing people together, whether new to the area or native, and meeting up at a local bar, restaurant, or event without the formalities associated with the usual scene. Drinking with Strangers is a place where friendly people can come out and enjoy good company with other easy-going, receptive people for drinks, eats, soc …

Does your other-half (boyfriend, girlfriend, evil doppelganger) need some alone time? Would you like to do to a pub but don’t have friends interested in a chat and a pint? Good, because then this group is for you. We’re all about drinks, beer talk and maybe foraging for food later in the evening. Come for a drink, stay for the company. Interested? To make this even easier for you, we can guarantee that at the time an event starts there will be at least two people in the bar, pint in hand. This a …

Given the choice between a chic club in the Meat-Packing District, complete with an inexcusably long line, velvet rope, disorganized "guest" list, and unspoken dress code; or a raucous come-as-you-are Dive Bar where the proprietors apparently needed a sign to remind patrons of the benefits of shirts, which would you choose? If you're a New Yorker who likes to drink in venues which reflect the eclectic, diverse, and vibrant nature of our city - you should join us today! We are a meetup for New Yo …

Temporary workers don't have a water cooler to meet at on Monday mornings or groups of co-workers to join for drinks on Thursday nights. This group is trying to change that one meetup at a time. If you are a temporary worker, want to be a temp worker, are unemployed and looking or even a full time employee, this group is for you. Our goal is to create a community of like-minded people to shoot the breeze with, network and most of all, have a good time. We are open to suggestions for places to me …

This group is for all hookah enthusiasts here in NYC - let's meet, socialize, relax, smoke, eat, and drink at different hookah bars in East/West Village. Group sizes will be limited since hookah bars are usually small and i'll try to keep the girl/guy ratio as even as possible. Everyone is responsible for their own food/drink expenses but the hookah cost will be shared by everyone or paid directly to the venue. Also no shows may be removed from the group, so please rsvp only if you can really ma …
