New Yorkers like choices. We love venturing outside the medical mainstream. But we've been stymied a bit. NYC's 85-plus modalities are currently weighted disproportionately towards therapeutics. Few discovery techniques based on natural biomarkers are available to practitioners and users. That's where Iridology shines. Learn what you will be able to do, empowered by familiarity with precisely what the diagnostic marks (yes, they do all have meaning) in your eyes mean. Join us if you ar …

This group is for people like me, whose spirits are lifted after going out and hearing good music and sharing time with like minded individuals. I started this group to find other music lovers in NJ. Most of the groups that I was searching for were in NYC. I wanted to highlight the people and places that play the kind of music you have to dig deep for. Everyone has their own defintion of good music. Here is mine: Soulful/afro house, afrobeat, Funk/Soul(james brown to sharon jones), 50's RB/ro …

You'll learn the footwork and moves, and you'll also improve your comfort level and skill at partnering and communicating with others. You may not even notice you're exercising as the music swings you.

Love Classic Rock? Who doesn't? Still, Meetup didn't have much of a Classic Rock presence, that is until now! Enter Classic Rock, NYC!

Are you aware that Billy Idol wasn't the first one to do, "Mony Mony"? Did you know that vinyl can be used for something other than seat covers? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then this group is for y …

Not too long ago "living off the grid" and "sustainable living" was considered by many to be an unusual alternative lifestyle only for "hippies" and communal living. However to several generations before us, this “do it yourself” lifestyle was the norm. In recent years times have changed dramatically with the latest recession and soaring inflation rates on necessities such as food, gas and many other crucial living expenses. In an attempt to counteract price of living going sky high as many of o …

This group is about the joy of music, especially when you are making it and even more especially when you are making it with others. My goal in starting this group is to allow people to come together and play music. To get the ball rolling, I envision this being a monthly to weekly thing where we could get together, play, and socialize at member's apartments (hopefully some people with lots of space will join and we can all be merry together. Otherwise, my apartment will hold about 5, as long as …

Blue Group -- The Closers -- from CDC 2012.

My name is James, and I'm fairly new to Meetup.com; however, since my passion is centered around food and great classic rock, I figured maybe there are some other people out there who cook in their kitchens while they jam out to great tunes. This is the only thing that helps me unwind and fall into a state of relaxation.  For me the music allows me to be more creative in the kitchen.  I compare a great guitar solo to those last few seconds of making a risotto, it's intense, quick, and everything …

Remember when it was simple? When you were in high school and would sit for hours analyzing the boys in your life? What should I saw to him? What does he mean by that? What Should I wear? – Formal? Semi formal? Causal? Once the look was set: The blue skirt or the black skirt…white top/ green top…flats, heels, boots?! How do I do my hair? Straight, wavy, curly, big curls, small curls, spiral curls? How do I read his body language? He likes the Yankees – maybe I can call my brother in the bathroom …

I named this club after the 80’s movie called “The Breakfast Club”. I thought it was so cool and the premise was intriguing. How a group of students who are very different and would normally have nothing to do with each other gradually learn that they are not at all that different in there hopes and dreams and struggles, and in the end become friends, I think . I believe that this group will be like no other on the web. Unlike so many groups with hundreds or thousands of members where nobody re …

There are amazing musicians who play mostly for tips- and I'm tired of seeing their work go unappreciated. I know that there is an audience who loves all kinds of roots based music- and would welcome the opportunity to be part of a community that connects with artists on a personal level. This group is such an opportunity.
