“ This is not just a social group but it can be a support group of sorts for the newcomers. The cultureshock of migrating to California can be overwhelming for some New Yorkers. If you're more comfortable riding the subways than driving on the freeways and prior to moving here you've never ventured beyond the 5 boroughs, then its nice to know you're not alone. We may not all look like you but we tawlk like you. ”

“ No reason to join this group when there aren't any meet-ups planned. Is Jayson still in charge or what? Perhaps he can appoint someone else to run the group? Come on lets do something for Christ's sake! A bar, a group of ex-new-yorkers with attitude. Terrific! We can all have a moan about loosing our edge in this boring town with crap transportation!! ”

“ I've lived here 48 years, but in many respects I've never left the Big Apple. (Fact: I'm addicted to all the NY cop shows.) Just discovered this group. Sounds like fun. ”

“ Good diverse mix of former New Yorkers and wanna-be New Yorkers. Don't be a non-Ny'er and flake. ”

“ Anyone who loves or even likes New York should attend and they'll feel like they're back in the Big Apple! Great to talk about NYC and differences between people here and there! ”

“ Met a lot of friendly and fun people last night. We look forward to attending another event. Hopefully, it will be Super Bowl Sunday to cheer the Giants on to victory! ”

“ The folks whom I've met were friendly and attentive. Because I had to leave by ~8:40PM, I didn't get a chance to meet others who may have joined the group afterwards. ”

“ These were definitely people from New York. I'd forgotten how direct New Yorkers could be while still being friendly. ”

“ Enjoyed it. The group discussion as a whole was best. If I had just been talking to the person next to me, it would not have been as much fun. ”

“ I can't wait for the next New York style pizza event - even if the pizza isn't true NY style pizza, there's always the company that is! ”
