Casual Drinks, Conversations, and Trivia
Thu, Apr 30, 11:00 PMJoin me for casual drinks and conversations, and a couple rounds of trivia. This is an event where people from around the neighborhood just meet and talk. Talk about your day, talk about your life, talk about the weather, talk about your hobbies. Anything and everything is welcome! Then, at 8pm, we can join the rest of the bar in a round of Trivia where we can test our repitoire of all-important knowledge. Hopefully we can make meaningful connections and turn strangers into friends.

Food For Thought (F4T)
Sun, Apr 26, 4:00 PMFood For Thought (F4T) is a friendly weekend brunch for people who enjoy discussing serious and "serious" topics with other smart, engaging people. We welcome everyone, whether you are a card-carrying philosopher or are maybe not quite sure who Plato was. The only qualification you need is that you enjoy thinking and eating and can do both at the same time! The F4T Brunch meets on the second and fourth Sunday of each month. We will have a new suggested topic each month, though wandering off topic is also allowed! (Good luck trying to stop that from happening.) These will span Science, Philosophy, Politics, History, Economics, and more. Attendees will be invited to propose the topic for the next brunch. We are a friendly group but we must restrict attendance to 12 members so we can all participate in a common conversation. And if you sign up, we expect you to show up! Two no-shows and you will be blocked from attending. To keep up-to-date on CFI-NYC events you should sign up for our monthly newsletter. Go to https://cfi-nyc.org/ and at the lower right click on Receive E-Mails. Topic for each event to be announced in the Comments section below...

"Hot Take" 30s & 40s Speed Dating (Comp Drink for Ladies) + Free After Party
Fri, Apr 24, 11:00 PMTICKETS - [https://www.eventbrite.com/e/hot-takes-speed-dating-30s-40s-after-party-tickets-1987568105708](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/hot-takes-speed-dating-30s-40s-after-party-tickets-1987568105708) (\*Limited # of Women save $5 using discount code "5" at checkout. Must purchase a ticket in advance to attend.) As written up in the latest \*USA Today, check out the newest and "hottest" type of speed dating! Skip the small talk and share your personal opinions on some interesting topics! The idea is to accelerate finding compatibility by being your true authentic self. Forget awkward speed dating. Forget another night of swiping dating apps. This "hot takes" night makes dating fun again with a room full of people who actually match your energy. **How it works**: Ladies will receive a complimentary drink upon before a 7:30 pm arrival time. During the speed dating, ladies will sit and men will rotate. At the beginning of each round, there will be a question/topic in which each participant will offer their “hot take” on the subject matter and question posed. As you sit across from your new potential match, each person will have a minute to offer your personal opinion/viewpoint, and then both participants will have 3 minutes to ask further clarifying questions and have a conversation on the matter in a respectful, light hearted manner. Your matches will be delivered the next day, and everyone will receive a complimentary after party going on in the same venue until 10 pm. \* [https://www.usatoday.com/story/life/health-wellness/2026/01/20/hot-take-dating-trend-explained-daters-singles/88216787007/](https://www.usatoday.com/story/life/health-wellness/2026/01/20/hot-take-dating-trend-explained-daters-singles/88216787007/) **What To Expect:** * New and innovative speed dating concept which accelerates true compatibility * Ladies receive complimentary drink upon entry before 7:30 pm arrival * Ages of the speed dating will be eligible singles who are in 30s & 40s * Complimentary after party with additional singles in the same age range * Your matches delivered the next day via email or text As The Cloud One is waiving their large group rental fee, a one item spend is required for ladies and a 2 item spend is required for men Dress code: Dress to impress/business casual.

Follow us on instagram @ https://instagram.com/centralparkbaseballclub?r=nametag ***RULES*** \*Honor your RSVP! If you RSVP you are agreeing to make it to the session. Not showing up ruins the experience for everyone, so only RSVP if you can actually arrive. If something comes up, give us a heads up or simply switch your RSVP to not going. We don't charge you to RSVP so lets play by the honor system. However, if you are a no show 2 times you will automatically be put onto the waitlist going forward. \*Slide Rule! When you are a runner on first base, and running to second base on a hit, make an active effort to get out of the fielder's throw (if you want more clarification just ask and we'll explain) otherwise we'll rule it a Double play \*Wooden Bats Only!! CBC supplies public equipment for anyone to use marked with green tape, however, players are welcomed to bring their own personal equipment and have it for their own personal use. So don't break somebody's beloved bat, just use the public bats. \*Team assignment When assigned a team please be sure to show up with that color. We supply the Meetup with Bats, Baseballs, Bases, Catching Gear, and Helmets. From your end, it is not too difficult to bring a colored shirt and a glove.
