Cultured New York

This group is for people who want to explore and experience New York's vast cultural offerings with similar adventurers. There are no prerequisites but the events will focus on modern art, dance, off-broadway theater, opera, live music and dinning. Some events may be expensive (for example, an evening at the Metropolitan Opera) and some may be free (for example, a walking tour of Chelsea galleries). The group is open to couples and singles and might be best suited for those 35 and older with a knowledge of the arts or a passion to learn. The group is designed to allow people interested in the cultural events I choose (or others suggest) to share them collectively. Accordingly, it is not a "dating" group or a promotional group -- although you might find a friend or fall in love with a piece of art.
