Hi, I just moved to New York and don't know anyone yet. I would love to meet some like-minded people. Are there any get togethers people know of that are social in nature for someone who's into volunteering, the environment, politics, etc.
I'm a writer who owns an organic liqueur company. Pretty socially aware but not crunchy.
I'm married so looking for platonic friendships/ social groups. In my 30s- but I look, well, in my 30s- and I have friends in all age groups.
Let me know if anyone knows of anything going on in the NY area.
Thanks.
