What we’re about
Everything is more fun when one does it with a friend and a group of friends is often even better. We're a group of potential new friends for you and we'd like to have start having some fun together and to get to know you better in the process. One of our members, who goes to a lot of burlesque shows told me that there are not very many Meetup groups who like to see burlesque so I put that in there to intice a few more fun members to our group.
All members of the group are encouraged to post any event's they would like to promote to the group and hopefully other members will join you at them.
In addition to that anyone who would like to become a sponsor of the group is invited to do so for a very small one time fee.
I hope this group helps us all to have fun and be very successful in our life here in the NYC area!

Our 50 & Over Social Walks are an extremely popular way to make new friends and meet others in a safe and unique setting. This event is very casual and non-awkward + our host will help to make introductions.
Enjoy a fun way to meet others while also getting some fresh air and some exercise while seeing the park. Little Island provides a one-of-a-kind relationship between nature and art—a break from urban life and a connection to spontaneity and joy. It's become NYC's newest and hottest attraction!
We'll make several stops along the park so that people can take pictures and admire the beautiful views. We'll circle the island a couple of times and then afterwards, we'll continue the walk along the Hudson River.
During the walk, you will randomly be paired with others in the beginning then rotate at designated times so that you get to meet everyone participating. Afterwards, you're welcome to hang out and exchange contact info with others.
