📌 **What** Looking for a way to mix art, sustainability, and good company? Join us for a fascinating dive into the future of creativity at the **"Arte Circolare"** exhibition at Triennale Milano! ***How it works***: Forget waste—come see how "scraps" and contemporary fragility can inspire new world visions. Meet at **17:00 in front of TRIENNALE MILANO**, get inside and ask about the exposition. You'll see works from ten talented artists (including Binta Diaw, Matilde Sambo, and Agnes Questionmark) each using different techniques to explore the symbolic dimension of a complex, yet stimulating, future world. After the exhibition, 'Chioscogiò' is 50 metres far-away to do a classic aperitif, an unmissable moment for your saturday night! 📌 **Who** Art enthusiasts, sustainability advocates, design lovers, and anyone who thinks "recycling" should look this good. Expats and locals ready to engage with Milan’s contemporary art scene are welcome! 📌 **How** 1. **RSVP to join** and let others know you’re coming. 2.

**📌 What** A slow, relaxed afternoon away from the Saturday shopping chaos. Time to drink tea (or coffee, or a spritz—no judgment), chat about current reads, swap recommendations, or just enjoy some downtime. This isn't a formal book club: no assigned homework. Just bring a love for stories and a vibe to match. ***How it works:*** Meet at **4 PM (16:00)** at the **Meetup reserved table**. It's a self-organized, very informal gathering: the perfect chance to meet other women in Milan who love books. ❗️The Meetup team won’t be there, you need to connect with other participants in the Whatsapp chat to form a group! More info below. **📌 Who** Book lovers, expats, women looking for new girlfriends, or anyone who just wants a chill afternoon vibe. **📌 How** * RSVP to join. * Join the **[WhatsApp group](https://chat.whatsapp.com/FEHeZou215uHrux5L4qcwW)** — [Essential to find the group inside the hostel]. * (Please please please) keep your RSVP on Meetup updated 🫶

📌 **What** We are hitting the Fiera di Sinigaglia—Milan's oldest flea market—for a late afternoon stroll. The plan is simple but effective: we meet at 15:30 to hunt for vintage jackets, vinyls, and weird antiques before the stalls close. Once we are done browsing (or when we get thirsty), we’ll flow directly into a classic **Navigli Aperitivo** nearby. It’s the perfect transition from "thrifting" to "drinking" as the sun goes down. ***How it works:*** Meet at the corner of **Vicolo dei Lavandai** at 3:30 PM. Look for the group, browse the market together and then pick a bar for a spritz! ❗️The Meetup team won’t be there, you need to connect with other participants in the Whatsapp chat to form a group! More info below. 📌 **Who** Vintage lovers, Spritz enthusiasts, expats, and anyone who thinks Saturday afternoons are made for walking and drinking. 📌 **How** * RSVP to join. * Join the **[WhatsApp group](https://chat.whatsapp.com/JHLZZonAr2x7BPknysTpcQ)** — **essential to find the group and decide where to go for the aperitivo!** * (Please please please) keep your RSVP on Meetup updated 🫶

**📌 What** Sunday afternoon, Christmas vibes, and the Bosco Verticale watching over us: it's the perfect atmosphere to show off your moves (or fall with style) on the Gae Aulenti ice rink.

ENG Saturday morning in Milan, what’s the plan? Let’s recharge our batteries to get ready for the weekend. Leave behind what’s past, take the best from it, and turn it into **pure energy** for this Saturday morning practice. Music will be the base of our body's movement and expression: the rythm will guide our steps and canalise our energies and emotions into something very creative and powerful. Bring a **sports towel** and **sport clothes and sneakers**. (there are changing rooms if you need them!) Don’t forget **water** to rehydrate — and your desire to recharge! We’ll meet outside **Dunamis Loreto – Gym of the Arts**. This part of the event is totally FREE and sponsored by MeetUp! And after the event, the sweetest part: no matter what time it is: it's always time for an aperitivo! let's choose a bar and have some food and drink together! ITA Sabato mattina a Milano, qual è il piano? Ricarichiamo un po' le batterie per prepararci al meglio al fine settimana. Lasciamo ciò che è stato della settimana scorsa alle spalle, prendiamone il buono e trasformiamolo in **energia pura** per questa pratica del sabato. La musica sarà la base del movimento e dell'espressione del nostro corpo: lasceremo che sia il ritmo a guidare i nostri passi e a canalizzare le nostre energie ed emozioni in un momento di grande creatività e libertà espressiva Porta il tuo **asciugamano da sport** e **acqua** per reidratarti, **abbigliamento e scarpe sportivi** (ci sono gli spogliatoi, se devi cambiarti!) e... voglia di ricaricare le batterie! Ci troviamo fuori dalla **Dunamis Loreto - Palestra delle Arti.** Questa parte di evento è totalmente GRATUITA e sponsorizzata da MeetUp! E dopo l'esercizio, la parte più dolce: non importa se è mezzogiorno: è sempre l'ora giusta per un aperitivo!

📌 **What** Impossible to agree on a restaurant? One friend wants pizza, the other wants sushi? That's precisely why the group is heading to Mercato Centrale! ***How it works***: The concept is perfect for a Saturday gathering: 1. You meet at the entrance. 2. You find a table together inside the food hall. 3. You grab whatever food you like from the different stands (Roman pizza, dumplings, burgers, etc.). 4. You eat & chat without the stress of splitting the bill. It’s loud, casual, and the best way to have lunch with new people without the formality of a sit-down restaurant. ❗️The Meetup team won’t be there, you need to connect with other participants in the Whatsapp chat to form a group! More info below. 📌 **Who** **Foodies, Expats, and Locals**. Anyone looking to make their Saturday lunch social and diverse! (Target: 25-35 yo). No reservation, no formality: just pleasant chats, easy encounters, and the freedom to socialize. Everyone’s welcome! 📌 **How** 1. **RSVP to join**. 2. **Join the [Whatsapp group](https://chat.whatsapp.com/IgtjWI0vKOHIkntAkVfKet?mode=hqrc)** — (Essential to find the table inside and coordinate!). 3. (Please!) **Keep your RSVP on Meetup updated**. See you on Sunday, because yes: **Street Food is the new way to lunch**!

Will you manage to escape? Join us for an immersive escape room challenge where you and your team will solve riddles, crack codes, and race against the clock to break free. Experience the thrill of mystery and teamwork - completely free of charge! Don’t miss your chance to sign up! ***WARNING:*** *Spots are limited! You have until Friday, December 19th, at 17:00 to secure your spot and confirm your participation. After then, any no-shows or last minute cancelations will be ineligible for future event invitations.*

*GOhio!* turns 8!! 🥳 Come celebrate with us at [Pins Mechanical](https://www.pinsbar.com/locations/easton)! 😄 **Summary** Pins Mechanical Co. is a social entertainment venue that combines old-school games like duckpin bowling, pinball, and other classic arcade and table games with craft cocktails, local beers, and punch. The vintage-industrial atmosphere is designed for playful, face-to-face gatherings with friends, family, and colleagues, offering a casual and lively alternative to a typical bar. Pins' Easton location spans over 38,000 square feet, making it the largest in the United States. This massive entertainment venue features two floors, a mezzanine level with stadium seating, and three full-service bars. It offers 16 duckpin bowling lanes, two indoor bocce courts, and more than 60 classic and modern pinball and arcade games. For additional fun, the location is known for its two outdoor patios, an indoor slide, and an expanded patio pong setup. **Activities** As noted below, some machines take actual quarters. Pins has two change machines (one downstairs and one upstairs) that accept ones, fives, or tens (only), and return quarters (only). * *Duckpin Bowling* [Like Bowling](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duckpin_bowling) but with smaller balls, stubby pins, and no oil on the lanes. The cost is $9 per game per person. * *Pinball* [Who](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Who)'s a [wizard](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinball_Wizard) on these [retro machines](https://pinballmap.com/map/?by_location_id=15311)? At $1 per play, everyone! Takes quarters. * *Arcade* Play classics like Gorf, Pac-Man, Gorf, Donkey Kong, Gorf, Galaga, and Gorf! The best part is, there's Gorf! And all the arcade games are free! * *Patio Pong* The classic college party staple but bigger. Instead of tossing a ping pong ball into cups, you use a regular ball and oversized buckets. There are two of these upstairs, and they're both free! * *Ping Pong* The most popular sport in China! They have two ping pong tables downstairs and two more ping pong tables upstairs. For those of you who have studied topological spaces and set theory, you will know this means they have four total ping pong tables. They have bubble gum dispensers with ping pong balls in them for 25¢ each. The dispensers take quarters. However, they also have racks where they store the ping pong paddles, and in these racks are slots for ping pong balls. It's not uncommon to see balls already here, so there's a chance you may be able to play ping pong for free if you want to. * *Hookie* You can't put your eye out! The safe alternative to darts: Hook thrown rings on a board. Outdoors on the upstairs patio, and free! * *Bocce* Like bowling, except there’s turf and a lot more balls. You can also knock your opponent’s balls out of the way. There are two of these upstairs, and they're both free! * *Foosball* Everyone loves [foosball](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Table_football)! 50¢ a game. Takes quarters. * *Giant Jenga* Stack massive wooden blocks into a tower, then take turns pulling out one block at a time without collapsing the tower. There are four of these sprinkled throughout the venue (two downstairs and two upstairs, with one on each patio), and they're all free! * *Skeeball* There are three skeeball machines on the first floor (near the Gorf machine!), and they're all free! * *Giant Connect Four* On the outdoor patio upstairs, and free! * *Bubble Hockey* This is upstairs. Up to four people can play at once, and it costs $1. Takes quarters. * *Cornhole* There are two cornhole lanes upstairs, and they're both free! * *Basketball* There are two basketball machines downstairs. They're tucked behind the downstairs bar, so they're not always obvious unless you go look for them. They're $2 per play, and they take quarters. * *NES and Sega Genesis video games* These are collections, downstairs (near the Gorf machine!), of video games that you can play for free! * *The Big Metal Indoor Slide* This large two-story slide is for kids, and certainly no adults would ride this. After all, it's not like it's free or anything. **Outdoor Patio** Pins at Easton actually has two outdoor patios. But for our purposes, only the upstairs one matters. See, it will be winter and likely cold. But their upstairs patio has multiple ceiling heaters and two massive gas fire pits that put out a ton of heat. Sitting out here may be a real option. As mentioned above, the upstairs outdoor patio has one of the venue's two Patio Pong setups, one of their multiple Giant Jengas, the Giant Connect Four, and Hookie. **Food** Pins doesn't serve food, but there's a [Mikey's Late Night Slice](https://www.latenightslice.com/) next door. This Mikey's is basically an extension of the Easton Pins; there's a large open doorway between both establishments. Mikey's has a fountain dispenser with Coke products. You can also get Coke and Diet Coke (but not Coke Zero, like you can at Mikey's) at the bars in Pins, but I think the quality of the soda pop from Mikey's fountain is better than that from the bar hoses Pins uses to dispense soft drinks. You are also quite allowed at Pins to either bring food in or order it in via your favorite delivery app. **Parking** I recommend parking in the [Worth Garage](https://eastontowncenter.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/parking-at-easton-updated-file-sept-25.pdf). It's literally right next door to Pins, and it's free as long as you park on Level 2 or above. They recently started charging people to park on Level 1, and you pay for parking on this level the same way you pay for street parking in Columbus, with the [ParkColumbus](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.parkmobile.parkcolumbus&hl=en_US&pli=1) app. I've seen them enforce this by ticketing people's cars, but I don't know how they actually compel payment. The garage is not a public street that actual cops can write you tickets for parking illegally on. If you have an actual ticket from a cop that you don't pay, they can go so far as to issue a warrant for your arrest. But all Easton has, seemingly, is, "[Please pay our ticket](https://eastonpreferredpark.com/)." Still, in my ongoing efforts to eliminate needless stress and aggravation from my life, I just park above the first Level. The actual address of the garage is [4049 Worth Ave, Columbus, OH 43219](https://www.google.com/maps/place/4049+Worth+Ave,+Columbus,+OH+43219/@40.0542293,-82.9137962,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m6!3m5!1s0x88388a86de3af559:0xc1dc8b4661fc834f!8m2!3d40.0542293!4d-82.9137962!16s%2Fg%2F11sgzjp4ml?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI1MDkyNC4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D). However, your GPS is stupid. The actual entrances to the garage are on the cross steets Brighton Rose Way and Fenlon St, not Worth Ave. Just keep this in mind once you get to the garage. **Where we'll meet** I'll post in the comments where I am. People will obviously want to explore different areas of the venue over the course of the event (and there's a lot to explore), but please just let me know (as in, come find me) once you've arrived. **Peroration** Come on out and say hi! 😄

Columbus Code & Coffee is an inclusive, informal co-working session. People of all skill levels attend, and we love it that way. Many people (optionally) bring projects to work on, and many other people (optionally) socialize the entire time. It's entirely up to you! **What to Expect at the Intro Circle** \~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~ Near the beginning of the event (1:30 pm), we do a standup: * Organizer announcements, updates, and logistics Round 1 - (7 secs max): * Your name * What you're working on * What you can help others with Round 2: * Community events you wanna plug. If none, that's cool too. Round 3: * Job opportunities you're hiring for OR announce that you are looking for one. If none, that's cool. After the introduction circle, everything is self-organized! Feel free to work alone, pair up, attend one of our workshops/presentations, or mingle!

Yes, the [Chocolate Café](https://www.chocolatecafecolumbus.com/menu-1?menu=signature-desserts) serves chocolate fondue *(Chocolate Fondue Day is Feb 5th)*! No one does chocolate fondue like they do.
