New York/New Jersey Expatriots

Missing that "REAL" genuine conversation you used to have with your East coast breathern?

Or just yearning for the bagels, pizza, or abundance of ethnic food we used to take for granted?

Or maybe missing a sports team that could inspire loyalty, like the Yankees, Mets, or even the Giants?

Come out and meet some new people who think the same way! We commiserate (only a little) while exploring the best food, drink, and fun, the Twin Cities have to offer.

*No passive aggressiveness allowed

**Although many of us are from NY and NJ, all people who used to call anywhere on the East Coast is welcome!
