Casual Meetups New York

Casual Drinks, Conversations, and Trivia

Join 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)

Food 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.

Casual Baseball Club - Central Park - North Meadow - Saturday

Welcome to Casual Baseball Club (CBC). We are CoEd and all experience levels are welcomed this is a friendly but competitive game. We are open to all who are looking to play. The aim of each session is to have balanced teams facing each other, you will be assigned a team prior to the session and be expected to cooperate with your teammates. The Meetup is minimum of $5 per session, Venmo/Cash app and Cash are accepted. If there are any issues finding us, contact Abel @ 917-808-7441. 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

Join Bunch and The Hutton for a relaxed Saturday end-of-summer afternoon. We'll kick things off at 4pm with a few cocktails and light conversation. As with everything Bunch, our focus is human-first, not big-production-first. Come relax and enjoy some end-of-summer socializing. **Agenda** A loose agenda so you know what to expect. **🥂 4pm:** As the crowd starts to arrive, we'll ease in with drinks and a few card games if you're into them. "Do I have to play?" No, you don't ☺️. You're welcome to spectate, chat with the regulars at the bar, or drift in and out of the groups. Just be yourself and know we're here to chill. **🃏 5pm:** As more people come in, some will socialize around the bar and some will keep the games going. **🍽️ 6pm:** Stay for food, more games, and more chillaxing. **What Is Bunch?** Bunch is a network of Jersey City and Hoboken locals who actually meet in real life. Any member can start a small-group hangout, which we call a Bunch, around almost anything: coffee, trivia, brunch, a walk, dinner, board games, or something completely new. The groups are small, the atmosphere is low-pressure, and the same faces begin showing up again. That's how acquaintances turn into real friendships. New to Bunch? Download the app and start Bunching at: [https://www.letsbunch.com](https://www.letsbunch.com) See you at happy hour! 🥂✨ Aleksandra Founder of Bunch
