I'm in. I'm coming from Park Slope, Brooklyn so either DUMBO or lower Manhattan is preferred. I know there are a few nice open areas around DUMBO I can suggest. e.g. Time Out Market Brooklyn also cc @Pete Vilter

☝️This (Wednesday at 5:30pm) works great for me. I'm happy for others to weigh in.

68 Jay Street Bar also comes highly recommended
The two are a 5-7 min walk apart if we feel like drifting

Ok cool, I like the dumbo idea... I'll do some googling tomorrow. I hope folks on Twitter don't feel like we tricked them into thinking it's a Manhattan thing lol

I tried to reserve a spot with Time Out Market for ~25 people. We shall see if they reply, and what the deal is there

oh wow, that's a good crowd 👍🏾

yeah this may be the first real popping nyc foc meetup

venue undetermined while waiting for Time Out? it's actually kind of open air mall / food court / market like -- so I'm guessing 30 people can show up and mill around and pick at drink / food from a few different places and hang by outside tables?
s

stevekrouse

10/14/2022, 1:35 PM
yeah, that's a decent backup plan
I'd love something a bit more reliable if possible

@stevekrouse Have you been to Houston Hall, in Manhattan West village/kind-of? I don't LOVE IT, but it's a huge open space, kind of ok to gather 20+ nerds standing up
s

stevekrouse

10/14/2022, 4:34 PM
Nice!
r

Rodrigo Tello

10/14/2022, 4:34 PM
I see that people have suggested Dumbo too, which I have to agree 100% to
but Time Out Market doesn't necessarily have a great open space
s

stevekrouse

10/14/2022, 4:34 PM
@Arvind Thyagarajan and I are now in contact with folks at Randolph Beer and that seems like a solid spot
r

Rodrigo Tello

10/14/2022, 4:34 PM
ooh catching up with people suggesting Randolph House

stevekrouse

10/14/2022, 4:34 PM
Yeah I agree that Time Out isn't the right vibe
You like Raldoph Rodrigo?

Randolph is very texas, too, haha, like huge bar, slightly loud, with air hockey tables kind of thing, not cute for a date but it's fine for a meetup

stevekrouse

10/14/2022, 4:43 PM
"very texas" lol
I was thinking of using partiful as the "meetup page" to track rsvps and communicate with everyone going. Any alternatives anyone likes better?

i've been to the wburg one and the vibe was good for our group of 5-8 friends in the dumbo one we'll have a separate space called "The Study"
