Looking to start a run club at Central Park focusing on self-development/mental health awareness on Dec. 28th! I will be running daily, but will primarily host meetups at 1pm every Saturday!!

Looking idealistically for ambitious, goal-oriented, and dedicated people who want to join a run club that encourages people that believe strongly mental health awareness to join! I want to establish this group to not base it around the sole emphasis on running, but rather to gradually produce networking opportunities, and further grow personal connections!

If interested, the address is 848 Columbus Cir, New York, NY 10019! Again, the meetups will be held every Saturday at 1pm!!

A bit about me: My name is Noah, I am a 24 year old with autism that moved to NYC about a year ago! I work as an animal care entrepreneur, and a real estate intern! I majored in Physics in college and minored in psychology! I have hobbies that widely vary from basketball, fitness, learning about engineering developments and anything related to the universe or existentially related, drumming, combat sports, RPG gaming, and more!

If you have similar interests or want to build more discipline, and find a sense of dedication for yourself, or even just want to be heard, please don't hesitate to reach out to me at any point! I look forward to meeting a lot of you at Central Park soon!

Thank you for your time and for reading this post!

-Noah 😊

Holiday Train: Holiday Sing along 12/22 @ 1:30pm

Hello! 🤗 My nephew is a nyc subway enthusiast and I’ve been riding the holiday train with him for the past 2 weeks. He walks around recording content for his YouTube channel meanwhile I sit on the train.

Wondering if anyone would like to meet up at 1:30pm on the uptown platform at 2nd Ave stop (F line) ahead of the holiday train’s departure at 2:00pm. I once rode the holiday train in Chicago and people were merry and singing holiday songs (jingle bells and such) and I would love to meet and sing with fellow nyers. Too nervous to just belt out singing alone and do not want to blast holiday music on a speaker (don’t want to be THAT person). Figured other people won’t mind too much if it’s a group of people?

I am NOT a professional singer by any means! So please don’t let that deter you! Though if you have a great voice, please come! I just would like to spread some holiday cheer on the holiday train—wholesome time together!

First time posting on here, I could make a group chat or we can just meet at the platform? I’ll be wearing a Santa hat—feel free to wear something festive!

When: tomorrow, Sunday, 12/23 Where: 2nd Ave uptown platform (F Line) BY THE FIRST CAR Time: 1:30pm meet up for the 2:00 pm holiday train departure

Who: individuals, couples, kids—anyone!

Exploring some tea shops.

Hey Would anyone like to come and join me around 3:00 or 4:00 for tea? I’m giving out tea as gifts to my family, so I want to explore a couple shops. Bundle up because it’s cold and we live in a winter wonderland! It’s the perfect time to share a warm cup together. Also, if anyone has any recommendations for good tea shops around the city, with some a nice selection of loose leaf, I’d love to hear them! I was thinking...

208 Sullivan St (Bleecker), New York, NY 10012 A charming tea shop in Greenwich Village with a wide range of organic teas and spices.

Kolkata Chai Co Address: 199 E 3rd St (Ave B), New York, NY 10009 A cozy café specializing in authentic Indian chai, with options for gifting.

I never been to these places before but this is what the internet told me. Lol

12/21 Dyker Heights Christmas Lights Walk

I’m joining a massive group of folks for a Dyker Heights Christmas Lights Walk. There’s over 200 RSVP’d which means at least 50 will show up, so it will be a nice group.

If you’re down to go, follow the link and be at the address at the specified time. I go every year and it’s fun.

This is a free event.

[12/21 1PM] Indoor rock climbing (bouldering) @ VITAL Lower East Side

Let's do some indoor bouldering at VITAL Lower East Side at around 1PM on Saturday 12/14! Anybody brand new or experienced is welcome to join. Bouldering is rock climbing with no equipment - all you need is to rent a pair of shoes and you are good to go.

A day pass at the gym is $35, and shoe rentals if needed are $5.

We've been organizing this meetup for over 2 years and it has been a lot of fun! There are usually between 20-30 people who attend. We spend about 2 hours at the gym and then some folks usually grab drinks afterwards. Just post here if interested and I'll add you to our group chat.

Saturday am MET exhibition and coffee in UES (12/21)

Hello! 39M. We have a small but expanding group of Art history/Art literature enthusiasts interested in meeting at the MET once a month (other NYC museums as well). We had our first meet last month discussing the exhibition Siena: Rise of the Painting.

Tomorrow am (Sat 12/21), we're planning to check out the Flight into Egypt exhibition (11 am ET). We'll meet before at 10:00 am at a lovely UES cafe (La Bomboniera at 91st and Lexington), do a quick round of intros, grab coffee and then head over to the MET (entry is pay-what-you-wish with any NYC ID). At La Bomboniera, look for the table with a black NY cap and a small red MET brochure in the center to find our group!

If you missed us at the Siena event, come join us tomorrow! For group security reasons, we're adding folks to the Whatsapp group only after they've been able to attend an event in person. We missed a few folks last time since the MET gets crowded, so please join us at the cafe first. If events like this and art history sound like your jam, come by and say hello!

Exhibition link: https://www.metmuseum.org/exhibitions/flight-into-egypt-black-artists-and-ancient-egypt-1876-now

There's no group chat for this meetup outside the whatsapp group at the event - I'll post a confirmation here tomorrow at 9 am that the event will be happening just so that folks have enough time to get there. Cheers!

Edit: place is crowded but grabbed a small table towards the back of the cafe. Look for the red MET brochure. Cheers!

Anxiety/Stress/Vent meetup tonight - 7PM at Hill Country

I saw a similar post earlier about a meetup for those wanting to vent but the post is no longer up. I like the idea so thought I’d run with it. Only Please be respectful and judgement free

Hoping to meet tonight at around 7, I chose Hill Country because they have large tables downstairs, but ideally anywhere where we can hear each other and contribute to the conversations is fine with me. So if you have a better suggestion let me know. I started a chat so let me know if interested

Quirky event where you can draw an alien & see some pop culture relics. 12/21 @ 5:15PM

My friend and I are hosting a drawing workshop + mini UFO exhibit showing aliens from pop culture this Saturday @ 5:15PM-6:30PM near Columbus Circle. It's a paid event ($10 tix) but we have a few open slots left for $1 tickets to fill up spaces.

Materials are included, my friend will be leading the workshop where she will teach us how to draw the classic stereotypical alien (not from the film) and a surprise from pop culture. Everyone will get a 4x6 canvas + 4x6 post card to draw on. A black marker will be provided but if you want to colorize will have to bring your own markers/pencils. No paints.

It's beginner friendly but you can deviate from the example if you want to draw something more complex. The mini UFO exhibit will have different items from various pop culture references to aliens which you can use as inspiration.

Lmk if you're interested. If you're really strapped for cash might be able to waive the $1 fee, just DM me.

Ice skating/holiday market at Bryant Park, 12/20, early afternoon

NOTE: I AM CANCELLING THIS DUE TO FEELING UNWELL (and expecting a couple of deliveries). Hoping to reschedule for some time in January!

Hello all! As the owner of a new pair of figure skates, I'm hoping to get at least one use out of them before I leave for the holidays. Join me at Bryant Park (it's free admission if you bring your own skates!) for some winter fun! We can wander the holiday market afterwards, too.

I have a rare day off work and don't want to be there when it's super crowded so I've gone ahead and made a reservation for myself for 2 pm. If you're interested, let me know and be sure to reserve the 2 pm ice skating slot for yourself as well!

About me: early 30s, work in the arts, moved here last September and still trying to build up a solid friend group (my partner and family live out of state so no support network has been rough). Former figure skater as well but don't expect me to do any tricks, haha.
