COMFORTABLE PACE, HELMET OPTIONAL, FULL DAY URBAN EXPLORATION, AND FOOD I started this group for the more leisurely paced rider who enjoys riding slower like I do, but who enjoys exploring in and around NYC for day-long adventures. A typical ride would start at 11am and include about 30 miles (4-5 hours) of riding time plus a few hours of stopping to relax or eat, the riding would be at about an average comfortable 7-8 mph pace - this is in contrast to many other groups that expect a 12 mph mini …

Do you live in Long Island City? Are you in your mid-late 20s or early 30s? Are you interested in meeting others who live in the neighborhood? Then you should join this group!

This group is for people who want to experience many Asian foods and drinks with a focus on pub style cuisine.  Mainly basement sake bars and yakitori spots. But Izakaya is an umbrella group description as I have other events planned outside what would be described as an Izakaya. Things like tea & dessert, Korean BBQ, any local Far East events like movies and concerts. Also its not so much an "exchange" as you won't find any American style bars/eateries on the agenda. Sharing language and cultur …

Discover some new restaurants in and around West New York and meet some of your neighbors. Instead of running into the City, driving to Hoboken or dealing with the crowds on River Road, let's get to know some local spots while meeting new friends. Whether you're single or married, old or young, an owner or a renter, living down by the river or up on the cliffs, we'll enjoy some laid back meals and other events that are mostly centered around our town.

We will explore various neighborhoods in New York's five boroughs. The focus will be on culture (monuments, historic landmarks, religious buildings), food and drink, recreation (museums, parks), and shopping (markets, unique stores). We'll stroll through each neighborhood, taking in the vibe and checking out locations of interest, before eating at a local restaurant. Examples of some neighborhoods are Chinatown, Hell's Kitchen, Astoria, and Greenpoint.

Walking Dead, Mad Men, Breaking Bad) and also do a set of Movies through the summer too. Game of Thrones and other HBO shows also play at Professor Thoms Bar in Manhattan!

Sales have still not bounced back for those lucky enough to have survived intact and reopen their doors. ​ Currently, Rally helps drive traffic to small businesses in creative ways, and is committed to donating a minimum of 10% of their revenue to local non profit organizations.
