theresa Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 Hey everyone... I am new to the forums. I live in Garfield, New Jersey (about 20min west of the Lincoln Tunnel... no traffic of course). I would be up for a NYC meetup, or even Philly sometime. I have friends in Philly and its about a 2hour drive down for me. I work a 9-5 Mon-Fri. During the week I have karate classes in the evenings on most nights. My weekends are pretty open though.

paulcats02 Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 Hey, I'm available this weekend...anyone up for a meetup soon? i'd be into it although i am working Saturday until 7pm so i'd have to join the meetup after that time. just an idea: Saturday night is UFC-88 Breakthrough and there is a Watch Party being thrown by mmafacts.com at the 40 40 club ("No hats, t-shirts or sneakers are allowed" is the only thing that scares me as that's all i ever wear... also even more discouraging is their online menu; there's about 2 vegan items ). i emailed the contact i have at mmafacts.com to find out more (like how much and about the dress code). it's also playing at:NY Manhattan Hooters @ Manhattan 212 581-5656 NY New York 3rd & Long 212 447-5711 NY New York Bounce Deuce Downtown 212 533-6700 NY New York Jack Dempseys 212 629-9899 NY New York Mean Fiddler 212 354-2950 NY New York Playwright @ 35th St. 212 268-8868 NY New York Playwright @ 49th St. 212 262-9263 NY New York Rogue 212 242-6434 NY New York Village Pour House 212 979-2337 while i am not very familiar with any of the above places as i don't drink or smoke or go out to these types of places often... they are probably more vegan friendly with a more relaxed dresscode. Sunday i may have the kids so i'm not sure if that works although it could; depends what time and where... Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veganmomma Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 Hey, I'm available this weekend...anyone up for a meetup soon?Not this weekend.

paulcats02 Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 Next weekend, then?

I would suggest that if folks want to meetup this weekend than go for it. I can come up to NYC pretty much any weekend. It's not urgent that I attend a meetup ASAP.

VegannNY Posted September 11, 2008 Author Share Posted September 11, 2008 I could do something around then (want to sit in on a Gymtensity class at Chelsea Piers, and that starts around 6PM). (Should be interesting...a body conditioning class, using classic gymnastic exercises and equipment...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VegannNY Posted September 13, 2008 Author Share Posted September 13, 2008 PaulCats - Hate to wimp out a second time - but am thinking that we should reschedule again, try to get a meeting setup that's less rushed/last minute. Would be good if we could get four+ people to commit to a quasi-formal meetup? Hey, this is NYC - it should be possible!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VegannNY no worries, whatever and however you'd like to do is fine by me. although i specifically wore my new VB&F shirt for the occasion anyway, either way is good for me; quasi-formal or rushed/last minute. a cup of coffee or tea, a meal, a walk... it's all good. unless i am working, training or busy with the kids, i am open...

bodybag Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 (edited) Hey, would love to revive the idea for a NYC meetup myself (maybe this next upcoming weekend?) Just a thought...! I *should* be able to come up to NYC next weekend if plans are sorted out by Wednesday as far as day, time, and restaurant. Paulcats why don't you just bring your 10 kids along with you so we can make this meetup happen. Edited November 2, 2008 by bodybag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bodybag Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 I'm coming up early since I have to spend $20 USD for a roundtrip train ticket and $7.50 USD for a funpass. I want to leave Philly at 8:09 am and arrive at Penn Station at 10:37 am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bodybag Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 I *should* be able to come up to NYC next weekend if plans are sorted out by Wednesday as far as day, time, and restaurant. Look above, it's Thursday so I can't make it. I've suggested days, time, and restaurants in the past. People in NYC are either busy or hippies. I'm going to have to start a Philly group even though I've never met a vegan or strict vegetarian strength athlete in Philly. Philly vegans tend to be scrawny and ride their eco-friendly bikes to get to work, school, grocery shopping, etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
