Take a moment to get to know us: The idea behind this meetup is to provide a convenient spot off of the Brooklyn ended N&R Train for people to meet and make new friends.

If you RSVP, try and show up. If you change your mind try and change your RSVP too. It isn't a huge issue but if you occupy a spot you'r …

It's not a strong rule but more of a "nice to have" 3) Yo …

Plus, who doesn't like laughing with friends, and checking out new shows? With that in mind this group's mission is to check out …
