Did you know it was native son Washington Irving who first dubbed New York City “Gotham”, a century before a certain superhero and his crime-ridden hometown were even thought of? Yes, Gotham is our city, our hometown, whether by birth or adoption! So let’s see the sites that make Gotham aka New York City so unique in the world. We go to exhibits and concerts at museums and unusual venues in the city, some famous, like the Metropolitan Museum, and others a little more off the beaten track, like the Merchant’s House Museum. Whether large or small, they’re all New York—come on along with us on the journey!

Like what you see about "Great Places in Gotham"? Then consider joining our sister groups, Classic Movie Meetup of Manhattan ( http://filmind.meetup.com/385/) and Friendly Native New Yorker Walking Tours!  (  http://www.meetup.com/Friendly-Native... ) 

Similar to most meetups, "Great Places in Gotham" has a modest $1 organizing fee per event, payable to me at the start of an event, to offset the subscription cost of maintaining the meetup. Please be sure to read our policy about "no-shows" in the About section, so that we can all enjoy these great places with a minimum of discomfort.

 

Please note: Because we've been kept waiting in lobbies, etc., for folks who didn't bother to change their rsvps, Great Places in Gotham has a "no-show" policy, retroactive to February 22, 2009, where any member who incurs ONE no-show with no explanatory emails to me will be permanently removed from our membership rolls and not be allowed to rsvp for any more of our events. After all, would you keep a "friend" who stood you up and never apologized?
