Hey all,

I just wanted to put it out there that NYC has some Great! Poly events.
There is a calendar here:
http://poly-nyc.com/calendar.html

My favorite event on the list is definitely the monthly cocktail meet up. it's generally ages 18-45 and its sort of like a non-single singles event. hehe

I know NY has so many poly events. I want to go check them out. But I am so shy to just go walk on in. Any friendly New Yorkers out there who would hold a newbies hand so to speak? My friend offered but she does the BDSM events which is very not me. And the other is taking a break from all relationships to deal with being a new mom. Oh-and AFTER I have this baby end of October. I feel really funny entering the community as a pregnant woman.

Yes, yes it is. I just left Vancouver yesterday afternoon, and I'm driving across the country through the States. I'm looking at stopping in at a couple places along the way, and figured since the opportunity was there, I'd try to see about stopping in at the Picnic on Saturday. (Strange that I have a hard time making meetups in Vancouver or Seattle, but it's somehow easier in NYC which is only 5000 miles away!)

My question...if there anyone in the NY area that would be willing to host an out-of-towner for a couple hours on or around Saturday? All I really need is a place to park my truck and get some sleep before the festivities, and some helpful advice on getting around the town.

If there is, please contact by PM or email.

Cheers,

Mono: That will all have to wait until Hali...there's no time for 'love' in NYC for me. Just check out the picnic, a couple sights, and gone. Worst case if there isn't anyone on here that can explain the subway to me, I'll just find a random parkade to crash in, and a map and I'll be all good.

Ok Imaginary. What do you need to know about the subway? I'd love to offer up my house and actually meet you. I'm just WAY too close to popping out the baby to be able to gaurantee following through on that. Hubby wants to check out the polyness this year though so, if I'm not actively in labor, maybe we'll meet up anyway? PM me with whatever questions.

Mono: You seem to be getting really into this ass smacking idea...but I know you would probably get aggitated if there was more than one hand and one cheek involved.

XYZ: Awesome...will do.

Wow the poly picnic was boring. It was nice meeting II in person. He says the actual mixers would probably be more fun and I agree.

Yeah....it was. It was like "Ah, so THAT'S who you are." I was not very nice the first day (some health issues causing utter grump day). But he came by today for a shower and breakfast and we got to talk a bit. I hope he liked NY.

Yeah, fear of being bored was why husband and I didn't go (well... that and the subway being effed up all weekend). Granted, I could have gone for a bored day in the park but husband doesn't seem to tolerate boredom well.

Thanks again for your hospitality. Yes, I had a great time in NY. It will be well worth another visit to get in some things I didn't have time for. And of course the Museum of Sex got a lot of commentary from the wife & friends back home, so I imagine there will be plenty of people headed for that.

As you say though, I think next time I'll aim my trips to drive past the mixers instead of the rallies. That said, apparently the organizers were very happy with the turnout.

Cheers.

Do you guys go to the coctail hour? My bf wanted me to go last time but I backed down on him. I am also not 21 (yet) but was told this shouldnt matter...idk though.

I'm in NYC at the moment but I won't be for much longer. I don't know why I didn't think of it before. Are there any poly meetups for New Year's?

It's tomorrow night in Alphabet City.

From the OpenLove NY announcement list:

Drumroll please....

This month's Poly Cocktail is our 4 year anniversary!!! It's also Valentine's month, and of course, Poly Cocktail needs to celebrate love our own way! We celebrate love with freedom, compersion, and independence! (We'll leave the usual possessive consumerist Valentine's love to the diamond commercials...)

Monday, Feb 7th. "My Poly Valentine"
Affaire, 50 Avenue B, 8-11PM, free!

[Note: that's 2 blocks east of 1st Ave., between E. 3rd and E. 4th Streets]

We encourage you to dress up in red, dress to express your identity, dress to celebrate freedom, or dress up a little bit special if you're inspired!

We plan to have a questionnaire treasure hunt to get a chance to talk to people about their poly journeys, with some fun sexy raffle prizes for those that complete it. We also plan to acknowledge some of the people who have been around all 4 years (so if that's you, please join us)! We'll also have some nice hors d'oeuvres and some variation on cake (feel free to bring a food contribution!). You won't want to miss this special celebration.

PLEASE NOTE: We normally have Poly Cocktail on the second Monday of each month but this month we have changed to the first Monday so as not conflict with Valentines Day itself. Please make a note!! There will be NO Poly Cocktail on Feb 14!!

Hey Athena, Sorry I didn't get to meet you at Poly Cocktails. I had to take care of myself that night, which meant staying in. But I'm glad you enjoyed yourself (as you posted on another thread).

As for CT, there appears to be a Yahoo group you can join to find out what's going on there:

For anyone in the NYC area who may be interested, the next Pleasure Salon will be Wed. March 2, from 6-10pm at Happy Ending, the former massage parlor/bathhouse that is now a very nice bar/club, down in Chinatown at 302 Broome Street.

I've gone and it's just a big party. Lots of poly people attend. Being NYC, there was a weirdo or two, but that happens anywhere you go in this town, LOL. The S&M crowd got a little rambunctious when I went, but it was all in good fun. The event was pretty relaxed and full of smiling people, easy to talk to, having a good time.
