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! I'm looking to make this a group mostly for people out of college but not necessarily "settled down"/starting a family already (it seems like 90% of the people in my building are already married with kids). I live by the waterfront/Gantry Park off the Vernon/Jackson stop, but people from other areas of LIC, and even Astori …

Sleep No More, Nitehawk Cinema, The Public Theater, St. Ann's Warehouse, PS 122, New Museum, MOMA, IFC, Film Forum, Park Avenue Armory.. Please add to the list of places and events featuring cultural, experimental happenings. I find most groups focused on eating out, happy hours or touristy pursuits. I tend toward the more challenging sometimes pricey places and events that make you feel and think or at least provide you with a cool experience. Seeking members about 25 to 45 to be among peers.
