We hope you enjoy yourself. We are a social, friendly group that meets to play games. Language and behavior that is racist, sexist, ableist, ageist, and so on, is not tolerated. Bullying and bad-mouthing hosts or guests is also not tolerated. We're not here to debate politics, and we are not a dating service. Obviously gaming can sometimes include trash talking. Just … know if your opponents are up for that! And look, we all make mistakes -- if you’ve offended someone, an apology can go a long way.**

Here is a wonderful opportunity to enjoy an afternoon of history, discovery, and friendship at a price that is hard to resist! For **only $5 per member**, our Social Club will enjoy **Museum admission and a one-hour private guided tour**, with a docent exclusively for our group. That is **50% off the regular $10 adult admission price—with our private guided tour included at no additional cost to members!** And our timing makes this visit even more special: **the Museum’s new Martha Washington exhibition will have opened earlier that very week!** *** ## 🕯️ STEP INSIDE A PLACE WHERE HISTORY HAPPENED Imagine New York during the Revolutionary era—a city caught up in the struggle for independence, where taverns served as gathering places for conversation, political debate, and the exchange of news. Fraunces Tavern was part of that world. It was here that **George Washington bid farewell to his officers at the end of the Revolutionary War**, in a moment remembered for its emotion and gratitude after years of shared sacrifice. Today, the Museum’s **recreated Long Room**, historic interiors, artifacts, and exhibitions help bring that world into focus. With our guide, we’ll explore the people and stories connected to this landmark and discover how Fraunces Tavern became part of the history of a new nation. **Come curious—there is much more to this famous tavern than its name!** *** ## 🌸 JUST OPENED: MARTHA, THE FIRST FOUNDING MOTHER REVEALED Our visit will include the Museum’s brand-new exhibition devoted to **Martha Washington**, offering a closer look at her experiences during the Revolution and her influence on the role of America’s First Lady. What was life like for Martha during the war? Why did she travel to the Continental Army’s winter encampments? And what can her personal belongings and letters reveal about the woman behind the familiar portrait? The exhibition explores these questions through objects and documents, including: 🥿 **A slipper that belonged to Martha Washington**, providing a personal connection to her everyday life. ✉️ **Correspondence revealing the human side of wartime experiences**, including Martha’s hopes for peace after the fighting ended. ❄️ **Her journeys to the Army’s winter camps**, and the work she undertook there. 🌟 **The expectations she helped establish for the First Lady**, alongside the wider contributions of women to the Revolutionary cause. **We’ll be visiting during the exhibition’s opening week—a particularly exciting time to discover it together!** *** ## 🔐 A PRIVATE EXPERIENCE FOR OUR SOCIAL CLUB Our tour will be led by **a docent dedicated to our group**, with our members staying together throughout the visit. We’ll have the opportunity to ask questions, hear the stories behind the displays, and share our discoveries with one another. Although the Museum permits up to 25 visitors with one guide, **we are limiting this event to 20 Social Club members** to keep our group more comfortable, particularly in the smaller Martha Washington exhibition gallery. 🏛️ **Museum admission** 🗣️ **A one-hour private guided tour** 🌸 **The newly opened Martha Washington exhibition** 🤝 **An afternoon with fellow Social Club members** ### 💚 ALL FOR JUST $5 PER MEMBER! *** ## 📍 WHEN, WHERE & HOW TO FIND US **DATE:** Saturday, November 21, 2026 **ARRIVAL:** Please arrive by **12:45 PM** for group check-in. **TOUR:** **1:00–2:00 PM** **LOCATION:** Fraunces Tavern Museum, **54 Pearl Street, 2nd Floor, Manhattan** Enter through the **54 Pearl Street entrance**, continue past the restaurant’s hostess stand, and take the stairs past the gate to the Museum’s admissions desk on the second floor. **Please meet David at the Museum’s admissions desk.** Allow enough time for travel and check-in so our entire group is ready when the tour begins. ♿ **Accessibility:** If you require step-free access, please contact David before registering so arrangements can be confirmed with the Museum. *** ## 🎟️ RESERVE YOUR PLACE—20 MEMBERS ONLY! **The cost is only $5 per member**, including admission and our private guided tour. ✅ Advance registration and payment through this Meetup event are required. ✅ This event is exclusively for **Social Club members**. ✅ Each attending member must register individually. ✅ Please register only if you can commit to attending. **Payments are nonrefundable unless the event is canceled.** *** ## ✨ LET’S SHARE AN AFTERNOON OF HISTORY & DISCOVERY! A place connected to Washington’s farewell, a new exhibition bringing Martha’s experiences into view, and a private guide to help us explore it all—this promises to be a memorable afternoon together. I’m delighted to offer our members this special opportunity, and I look forward to seeing you at Fraunces Tavern Museum!

Bunch is built around a simple idea: anyone should be able to get people together. Any member can create a hangout around almost anything: coffee, brunch, a walk, drinks, dinner, trivia, pickleball, or whatever else you feel like doing. Other members join, you meet in real life, and the community grows from there. No professional hosts. No endless programming calendar. Just people inviting other people to do things. 💛 Start Bunching: https://www.letsbunch.com See you at the next one! 🥂✨ Aleksandra Founder of Bunch 💛

Bullying and bad-mouthing hosts or guests is also not tolerated. We're not here to debate politics, and we are not a dating service. Obviously gaming can sometimes include trash talking.
