Come join us! 🫶🏽 We’re starting a new adult pick-up soccer community right here in Canarsie, Brooklyn. Whether you’re an experienced player or just want to come out, have fun, and get some touches on the ball, everyone is welcome. 📅 EVERY FRIDAY ⏰ 10:30 AM – 12:00 PM 📍 Canarsie, Brooklyn (Baseball field 2) ⚽️ HOW IT WORKS This is a casual pick-up game, not a competitive league. We’ll organize teams when everyone arrives, so everyone gets a chance to play. No need to have a team or know anyone beforehand — just show up, meet people, and play! 👟 What to bring: • Soccer shoes/sneakers • Water • Comfortable athletic clothes • Good vibes! 😄 We’re just getting started and our goal is to build a friendly, active soccer community for adults in Canarsie and the surrounding Brooklyn neighborhoods. Come play, meet new people, and help us build something fun together! ⚽️🔥 Everyone is welcome — beginners and experienced players alike.

Another Great Night of Boardgames! - UWS Fred’s Restaurant

Another Great Night of Boardgames! - UWS Fred’s Restaurant

Wed, Sep 23, 9:00 PM
From Game Night by Doggone Gaming
4.9

Come and chat, eat, and play some games! Come enjoy a welcoming night of great people, great food, and seriously good games. Rebecca is hosting again this week with soooo many games to bring and get to the table! (Please RSVP to let me know you are likely to come, even if it's a "maybe" so I can plan on games to bring.). Also, if you had a game form last week you like and you'd like me to be sure to bring again, let me know! ALL are welcome, including first-timers and non-gamers. Arrive anytime; if games are mid-play, there may be a short wait—but plenty of good food, games to browse, and people to chat with in the meantime. We’re always happy to teach games, so no experience needed! ENTRY IS ALWAYS FREE (but, we do ask to Please purchase about $15-$20 of food or drinks from our host! ) - other options listed below if that just isn't something you can do! (everyone is welcome!) • Please support our amazing host, Fred’s Restaurant, who generously shares their event space with us, allowing us to have our own private area each week. They give us exceptional service and a private space for free, so lets make sure they are taken care of through our food and drink orders & we can keep using this wonderful space with such a kind and generous host! • If you just can't financially purchase food/drinks on a particular night, that's ok, still come! I just ask that you send me a private message to let me know and that way I can plan ahead. I never want anyone to feel they can't come due to funds.. I 100% get it .. we all live in the city.. it's never easy! :) • Another option, you can always donate to the group's funds (via Venmo @BarrRec - note the game meetup so I can be sure to separate it) which gets used to support our amazing Fred's staff adding extra tips, or helping out covering on night when not everyone can purchase to support the restaurant by combining the "donations" to order group appetizers for everyone! • There is a happy hour menu (till 7pm) that is filled with smaller, but still good sized bites and drinks at close to 1/2 price too! they make great cocktails and mocktails as well as the best Mac and cheese and vegetarian options. 👉 Join us on Meetup: https://meetup.com/uws-board-games?member_id=53869082 Hope to see you at the table! if you have specific games you are wanting to take a look at, please shout them out here. We tend to start of with a light group game while people are arriving, and then break out into smaller groups for mid weight games. Our library leans a bit more to the little bit more complex strategy style of games, but we still have a huge range from silly and light all the way to multi hour. and, please feel free to bring your own too!

Tuesday Night Weekly Game Night - NOW AT COBBLESTONE'S!

Tuesday Night Weekly Game Night - NOW AT COBBLESTONE'S!

Tue, Oct 6, 10:00 PM
From Forest Hills Board Gamers
4.9

**\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*PLEASE NOTE\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*** *** ***\*\* In order to support Cobblestones for letting us use their space, there is a $15 minimum food/drink order per person.\*\**** We're a friendly group of gamers that play everything from Carcassonne & Ticket to Ride to Wingspan & heavier Eurogames! If you don't recognize the games, don't worry, everyone is happy to teach new players the rules. And feel free to bring your own board games if you wish. Between all of us, there's usually a large selection of games to choose from. In order to support our awesome, not-too-loud, well-lit venue, each person must purchase something to eat or a few drinks. ***\*\*\*Again, there is a $15 minimum per person.****\*\*\** *** We always welcome new people & we're all here to have fun, but we do have a few ground rules that we ask everyone to be aware of: * Treat everyone in the group with respect & do not discriminate. Some of us "trash talk" when we play, but it's all in good fun & in the spirit of gaming. * This is a restaurant/bar so accidents are bound to happen. However, if you're responsible for ruining someone else's game by spilling a beverage or food on it, the right thing to do is to offer to purchase a new copy for them. Some of the games we bring are out of print so please treat every board game with respect. * If a game is accidentally ruined by a staff member, everyone at the table should pitch in to buy a new one for the owner. More often than not, this comes to about $10/person or less, so in our opinion it isn't too much to ask for. *** Thanks everyone & see you on Tuesday night!
