REAL is eating where the international communities of New York eat when they want a taste of home. REAL is eating what they eat. REAL is taking your senses on an adventure around the globe without leaving New York City. REAL is supporting small restaurants.  All bills will be paid the old-fashioned way, cash only. REAL is being yourself. Talk about food. Talk about work. Talk about love. Talk about the world. Talk about anything. Just keep it real. But don't forget to laugh your ass off. REAL is …

Discover some new restaurants in and around West New York and meet some of your neighbors. Instead of running into the City, driving to Hoboken or dealing with the crowds on River Road, let's get to know some local spots while meeting new friends.

I decided to start this group because In a place with so many people, it makes absolutely no sense for anyone to have nothing to do! Anyway, what's the most common thing people do? EAT, everybody likes to eat! Its stress free and pain free. Its great way for anyone and everyone to enjoy life! Just sit, eat, and enjoy the company of others. Partying is ok and there are other groups for that, but if you're like me, sometimes you want to stop and just enjoy a hot dog on Coney Island, or some pi …

At Blaboid Meetups, we use the Blaboid platform to find the best conversations about a subject among attendees.

We're Cameron and Leslie, and we think eating out is better with a crew.  A crew means there's more food to share, more characters to share it with, more stories to tell....basically, a delicious dinner with a good crew = a party! Cameron and Leslie are friends from San Diego; now we're converted New Yorkers. Cam knows more about food than anyone we know (at least he'd love to go toe-to-toe with Bourdain), and Leslie's forte is making friends with strangers (in the California way, not creepy)... …

I created this small group for women, between the ages of 25-30, who are in search of fabulous and fun friendships. Women who are light-hearted, educated, fun-loving, professional, "get up and go", beautiful individuals. If you are through with the constant club hopping and would rather have a glass of wine at a lounge after work (or a margarita), watch a comedy show, take a leisurely stroll through the city, catch a summer outdoor concert, watch an intimate live jazz session, dine out and make …

[To foster group camaraderie and accountability, this Meetup requires that each member/pending member have a photo and first name on their Meetup home page.] I have been living in Carroll Gardens for 12 years and used to live in the Park Slope area.

Not all creative people are looking for criticism.  Some just want inspiration, friends, and the chance to be creative with others who just get it.  While originally a writers' group, this group is going to tour great coffee houses, where members will have the opportunity to do art or writing alongside each other.  We'll be each others' cheerleaders on our journey, whether that be writing your memoir, standing in front of a microphone reading a poem or singing out loud, or just having friends to …
