Being a parent is tough.  Being a parent in NYC is really tough.  But being a geek parent in NYC can be amazingly fun. This group is for geeks who are parents, as well as parents whose kids are natural born geeks. Let's meet and discuss the fascinating challenges of raising kids with a focus on science and smarts, and do some of the cool geeky things available about town. We (the organizers) have a six month old son, so we'll try to plan events centered around small children, but please feel fre …

This group is a social experiment to see how many good looking people out there are actually geeks in disguise :) Just kidding(or are we). This group aims to offer an environment for uber individuals who like stimulating excursions - mentally & physically. We only have one rule: that the members use their super sexy geek powers for good only. Please apply and join in on the fun!

Are you a working professional or college student who prefers the company of other geeks? Do you find yourself frequently wishing there was some sort of watering hole for people like you who watch Adult Swim, revel in the joys of DDR/video games, read esoteric books, and indulge shamelessly in intelligent debate? Do you hate hipsters with an undying passion? Do you need people to drink shamelessly with in order to summon the courage to get on stage to croon in front of a large crowd of karaoke g …

The main goal of NYC Anonymous is to make fun of people. We have been doing it for a long time on an almost professional level, and we like to choose victims which really deserve to have their feelings hurt. Every once in a long while, there comes an entity deserving of ire. Whether they be guilty of human rights abuses, being royal pains in the ass, hateful exploiters, or just plain stupid, we take it upon ourselves to make their days worse. There's almost always a good reason, and the result …

It’s the end of another grueling day at work. You’ve finally gotten out and in your hand, you grip your tell-tale bag holding the latest adventures of Peter Parker side by side with the Last Son of Krypton as he soars the skies above Metropolis while The Dark Knight Detective searching the streets of Gotham, all striving to rid the world of crime and injustice. So what do you do know? Go home? No, you don’t want to go home just yet. You’re thirsty and in need of good friends to talk to. Come and …

Remember when you were a kid and comics were awesome? Well they still are. Actually, they're much better now. If you don't already know that then you need to come to the next Meetup. We're going to use this group to explore all genres for comics, trade paperbacks, and graphic novels and then discuss them over a few drinks.

You know who you are. White Wolf gamers that are long in the tooth. Cyberpunk players that remember 2013(!) ADnD folk that still have 1st ed sheets somewhere. We all played paper and LARP RPGs back in the day. We may dust off polyhedral plastic once in a while, when our too-cool friends and colleagues aren't looking. Our old game pals eBayed their books or went to crazytown and really believe they are sparkily vampires. Bottom line is almost no one we (want to) know still games and we cer …

Most people believe that black technologists are rare. I chose to believe otherwise. Why we exist: This meetup exists because I was damn tired of being the only black person at other tech meetups.

Here's what you need to know: We aim to be a network of developers in NYC interested in becoming better, learning from each other and networking. We mix hardcore computer science with s …
