Five Borough Futbol Club (Pick-up Soccer Games)

New York, NY

Five Borough Futbol Club (Pick-up Soccer Games)

Quality, competitive pick-up games without the commitment of a weekly league.

This group is dedicated to elevating the beautiful game for the men and women of New York City. The level of play is intermediate and above, meaning that most of us played growing up and enjoy competing for bragging rights.

We believe in fair play, healthy competition, and inclusive community. We put on the best game in the city because we have the best people in the city.

Every player on the field has something positive to contribute to each game. We do not tolerate ego, unsafe play, negativity, and toxic behavior. Players with a negative impact on the game and on the community will be warned and then banned.

Bring a red shirt and a white shirt. Teams will be assigned before hand based on player skill level and may be adjusted during play to maintain balance. Balls will be provided. Absolutely no slide tackling or unsafe play. Turf shoes must be worn - no studs allowed. 48 hour cancellation notice for guaranteed refund.

Tastes of the World NYC

New York, NY

Tastes of the World NYC

New York City is home to a myriad of ethnicities that showcase their rich cultures through their cuisines. What better way to explore this rich ethnic heritage of New York City than to sample cuisines from all around the world right in our own backyards without ever having to buy a plane ticket.


Come join us we set out on a culinary journey across the 5 boroughs of NYC to locate and sample all the authentic ethnic cuisines and discover some new tastes as well as re-visit some old favorites.


No foodie experience required. All you need is a Metrocard, an open mind and a willingness to try new cuisines, and most importantly an empty stomach to come join us as we take that subway ride across the 5 boroughs where many delicious ethnic dishes await. You will be glad you did, and your tummy will thank you for it.


All our events will be held throughout the 5 boroughs of NYC, with main focus on the mom-and-pop restaurants located in the outer boroughs of Queens, Brooklyn, The Bronx and Staten Island, all reachable on MTA subway and/or buses, or even Metro-North.


OUR MEETUPS: Good food is meant to be shared. At each Meetup, we will dine FAMILY-STYLE, NO EXCEPTIONS! Final food bill, together with tax and tips will be shared evenly. Any drinks are separate and are the responsibility of the drinkers. Number of attendees to our events will be kept at a small number (no more than 10 to 12) to allow everyone to get to know each other.


MEETUP FEE: To help defray the cost of paying Meetup HQ to keep the site up and running, a $1.00 Meetup fee will be collected at RANDOMLY selected events.


**NOTE: this group is not suitable for those with any kind of dietary restrictions**


Group founded: November 6, 2021

Genuine Friends 50-70+ Long Island Ladies Group

Garden City, NY

Genuine Friends 50-70+ Long Island Ladies Group

You must attend a new member meetup to join the group. Join our waiting list and we will invite you to the next one.


Please be vaccinated to protect us all. 


We plan a variety of fun events on LI and beyond - anything from eating to adventure. Do you remember when you were a kid and had friends you could always count on - a friendly face in a crowd of acquaintances? Well, that's what we are about. Genuine friendships with others whom you would love to have to your own home - a group of genuine friends.

Find people whom you are always happy to see - ones who share your interests and who won't cancel at the last minute or be a no show when they have something better to do. The age limits are just a suggestion - if you are a happy, active older person, this is for you too. Please be able to use a computer/android or iphone, and pay by Zelle.

Our events include brunches, book discussions, friendly chat, travel near and far, crafts, adventures, NYC, local theater, gardens, concerts, canasta, keeping fit, even star gazing or anything of interest to you and a few others. Most events take place in Nassau. This group is not suitable for those from mid to eastern Suffolk, Manhattan or Brooklyn.

Places will become available only as people leave the group or are inactive, or no shows at several events. I do remove inactive members on a regular basis to keep the group filled with only women interested in building real friendships. Please understand that not all membership requests are approved.

We do have admission standards. You are welcome to join if you are 50+, if you don't have a pattern of no shows with other groups, are free of drama, and if you can bring a smile to the our next meetup. If you are normal, sane, and secure, you'll get in! Please have a real, recognizable photo of your face when you join, and a valid email address. If you are a cat, puddle or flower, you won't get in. We want to be able to recognize you at an event, and greet you as a friend.

We do post pictures of group events on Meetup and Facebook, so when you join, you are agreeing to be photographed.

Join my other group: http://www.meetup.com/Travel-Friends-Near-and-Far/

Our annual dues are $20 per year collected annually (year ends on April 14), paid at your first meetup, or by Zelle. Renewals are $20, paid by April 14.

To maintain your membership, you must attend at least one event every two months.

Past Lives, Dreams, Soul Travel throughout New York

New York, NY

Past Lives, Dreams, Soul Travel throughout New York

Open to all those looking to find more wisdom, love, inner peace and spiritual freedom in their lives, through better understanding of dreams, past lives and the personal way the universe speaks to us daily. Move naturally and easily into higher areas of awareness and help life flow in a smoother and happier direction. One form of personal meditation we explore is known as a "Spiritual Exercise". This form of simple meditation, using your creative imagination, strengthens your inner guidance and helps you recognize your true identity as Soul, an eternal and divine spark of God.

Nothing needs to be taken on faith. Experience it yourself.

Have you had one of the following spiritual experiences? Come and share; learn more about connecting to direct guidance and achieving personal growth.

* Past-life recall or having a sense that you have lived before (in a meditation or dream)

* Dreams -- that opened awareness, expanded your consciousness, told of a future event, gave you an answer

* Out-of-body or near death experience * Seeing an inner light

* Hearing an inner sound

* Inner guidance (angel, spiritual master, departed loved one)

* Knowingness (intuition, coincidence, déjà vu)

* Unconditional love (from a family member, friend, pet, etc.)

* Sense of oneness, divine love

* Connection with all life -- greater awareness, feeling of inner peace

Creative techniques are discussed in these Meetups to further explore our inner worlds. Similar to meditation, yet more active, these contemplation techniques, such as singing the ancient love song to God, HU, (pronounced 'hue") helps with self improvement, brings self empowerment through greater inner understanding, opens consciousness, helps in understanding how karma is created, how to work through it, and gives guidance on how to achieve states of Self and God Realization.

HU, this ancient and sacred word for God, can be found in the Jewish Kabala, Christian Gregorian chant, Buddhism, the Sufi teachings, Chinese Taoism, as well as in the path of Eckankar. It is a universal word with a very high vibration. You are invited to try it anytime you would like, either out loud or silently to experience the effects for yourself. (www.hearHU.org)

We warmly welcome you to join us in our events and discussions that take place in all 5 boroughs, Westchester and Rockland – a common meeting ground for all who have had or would like to have a life-changing spiritual experience.

Our group is sponsored by Eckankar. Experience the Light and Sound of God. This ancient spiritual teaching offers spiritual techniques and resources for an individual to discover truth for themselves.

To learn more about Eckankar, go to www.Eckankar.org.  You can find out about advanced study and the spiritual exercises of ECK.

Team Awesome 2.0

New York, NY

Team Awesome 2.0

Welcome to the new and improved Team Awesome 2.0!


A few years ago, I started the original Team Awesome in order to meet new people and make awesome friends. Mission accomplished! We had so many fun, adventurous experiences, I made so many friends, and there were even quite a few members who met through the group that are now happily married. After a six year run (2013-2019) with more than 3000+ members, I decided it was time to end the group.


After a few years, I realized that I miss meeting new people, making awesome friends and going on fun adventures with awesome geeks. Most of my friends are married and/or with children, don't go out to do fun things anymore, or are too busy- the very same reason I started the original group! It's super hard to make friends as an adult. I get it. It's also incredibly challenging to date as an adult. Ta da: Team Awesome 2.0!


Of course, doing this during a pandemic adds to the challenge...But we want to be smart and will take proper precautions to ensure the safety all our members.

What will we be doing? All sorts of fun, geeky adventures! I've held events such as board game nights, karaoke, museum visits, kayaking, hiking, trivia night, mini golf, potluck picnics, arcades, etc.


Are you looking to have fun? Are you an awesome geek? Are you interested in meeting new friends and possible singles? If so, join Team Awesome 2.0!


NOTE: There will be no membership fees.

Meet Up groups are $98/every six month. If you had a blast and can spare a $1, $5, or whatever donation to help run the group, it would be greatly appreciated.
