What we’re about
This is a a group for people who live in Bayside, the boroughs and Long Island. It's for people who are creatures of the city, with all its diversity, possibilities, opportunities, and excitement. To be sure, we will make excursions into the city and Long Island. The point of this group is as much to allow meeting, forming friendships, and having fellowship with others whose hearts belong in the city, as it is to take trips into the city for all that it offers.
Some of the event types we offer are : Speed dating, Museums, bowling, pool, golf, bingo, shows, rock climbing, mingles and more. Some events are associated with http://www.weekenddating.com or https://www.socialevents123.com and others are not
NOTE; This group is NOT about pick up, wingmen or seduction techniques.
