Hello, anyone interested in sharing conversation over lunch in Chinatown, NYC? I like the cheap, quiet eateries. Note that this isn't a group for free lunch. (Note: I am busy and out of town for a while. Sarina is Assistant Organizer while I am away. If anyone else would like to set up some meetups, let me know)

Are you the only vegetarian or vegan in your Midtown office? Let's grab lunch at vegetarian and vegan friendly restaurants in Midtown where we can share a variety of tasty dishes.

Meet other people who work from home or are otherwise at home weekdays at lunchtime. Working from home is terrific, but don't you also miss the social life of a busy office where lunch is often the high point of the day? We can bring our virtual office together to enjoy some conversation over a salad, pizza, white fish salad, burrito, sushi and any of the other foods Park Slope has to offer. We are busy individuals so being able to pickup some lunch close by in the neighborhood is important.

Lunch Hour Networking Networking is an essential part of business development for many professionals, entrepreneurs, business owners and those who are looking to advance their careers. With so many choices of events happening in New York on any given day it can be hard to choose between networking and social and family lives. We have decided to start this group to offer an event that could fit our schedules and leave time for what we find most important. Come join us for lunch and network with u …

New York is a hub for startups and coworking spaces. Come meet us for lunch!

This is an internal group for Meetup.com engineers. We will meet biweekly on Tuesdays during lunch time (1pm). Our topics will cover anything from back-end infrastructure to features on our site. The focus will be primarily technical in nature.

Let's get together for a Saturday later in the afternoon movie then dinner at a local Forest Hills, Metropolitan Avenue restaurant. Monthly picnics at Flushing Meadow Park (in the shade, of course) and playing board games. We will also have lunch/brunch Sundays and Saturday dim sum luncheons in Forest Hills on Queens Boulevard at a popular dim sum restaurant. Walking leisurely in the Juniper, Flushing Meadow and Forest Hills parks. All adults 55-60+

The plan is to spend anywhere up to $7 for lunch (before taxes/tip). The rules are: 1) No Fast Food. Sometimes these options aren't even less than $7, but let's avoid them. 2) A Full Lunch. This includes no going to get a slice of pizza or a hot dog. We're looking for options that are a nice/decent lunch. 3) Good Food! This may not be easy, but let's find options that are delicious and cheap! Can't wait to save on lunch!

You have heard people scoff that "There's no such thing as a free lunch." Well, not only is there in fact such a thing as a free lunch, there is something better . . . having that free lunch with a lawyer!

The "Silicon Alley" of New York has grown on the strength of its relationships, often forged in the Flatiron District neighborhood. We'd like to harness that neighborhood connectivity via a once-a-month lunch series, hosted at our work space in the heart of Flatiron, to explore latest industry trends, apply new learnings and meet other people working in the neighborhood. Now you have another excuse to take a long lunch on Friday!

Meet other anarcho-capitalists, market-anarchists etc for an enjoyable monthly lunch. For once, get to talk politics at lunch without ruining the party :) This group is purposefully narrow. It's great that you're a Libertarian, a constitutionalist concerned with the erosion of freedom, a pacifist, an anarcho-curious minarchist, *BUT* please understand that the point of this group is to be restricted to anarcho-capitalists only. This is not a statement about your worth as a human being, we ju …

This group is for dogs and their owners to get together for walks, trips to the park, the beach, and especially lunches and brunches at dog friendly restaurants with outdoor seating :) We may also do a day trip or overnight adventure with our dogs! We love our pets...but we also love doing fun human things! There are SO many groups for dogs on here - this one is for the dogs AND their owners. Let's do all the things humans like....with our furry friends too! :)

Apparently, as defined by Urban Dictionary: "When straight girls (and sometimes their straight boyfriends or husbands too) meet up with their gay friends for brunch on Sunday." ..Well, that's at least the general idea. The New York City Gay Boy Brunch is intended to be an queer and allied inclusive space for those in our all ages to have brunch together in one of the best restaurant cities in the world. Occasionally we might have a few lunches or dinners, but for the most part we'll stick to Sa …

This group is for women living in the Williamsburg/Greenpoint area who want to make new friends. It's hard for women to make and form lasting friendships I believe, and I want to create an opportunity to do just so with people in my neighborhood! Not to be cliche, but my hope is to gather a few new friends "Sex and the City" style - friends for life who provide one another with meaningful friendships. And who doesn't love brunch? PLEASE NOTE: there is a desired age group here - 25-34.  If you fa …

This is a group for anyone interested in healthy eating, women issues, family life style and self development. I started this group because I want to bring women together discussing issues that are important in our daily lives and our family. Looking forward to have many important discussions with all members regardless of age, ethnics and religions. We will get together on a monthly basis together enjoying an affordable lunch and various activities and anything else that looks like fun.

The term Brunch was first coined in 1895. Defined as a meal that combines breakfast and lunch, eaten late in the morning or a Sunday meal for "Saturday-night carousers". Well, whether you were carousing or not, It's a great reason to get together. Doesn't food taste better when it qualifies as Brunch? See you soon, Chris

This is the group for those of us who refuse to be "Baller" in our lunch experiences. We prefer to eat something so gross and so cheap, that we have cold sweats for the rest of the day. $15 sandwiches from Alidoro? Nope. $1 tacos from the sketchy guys van? Count me in. Places we'll frequent: - Anywhere that has cheap food.

New York Internet Marketers like to get together... AND we need to eat lunch. So why not combine both? If you're an Internet Marketer in the New York Area who wants to network, learn & share, then come out to our next event to meet, greet & eat.

Do you hate being stuck behind your desk all day? Do you think about going out, but hate to go alone? Me, too! I'm hoping to get a group together to get out of the office during lunchtime. This is not necessarily to eat lunch, but to get out and take a break from the office. There are so many sights to see in NYC and most of us see them from an office window (if we're lucky!) So, if you are close to 40-ish (or not so close) and would like to get out and meet new people away from work - join and …

This group sprang out of a conversation on the Hack and Tell mailing list. Let's get lunch and geek out together! Meet up at coffee shops to hack! Announce impromptu events whenever we'll be hanging out at the Tea Lounge to code or wake up early enough for breakfast with other hackers! Pair over pastries! Learn Lisp over lunch! &c &c &c. Any member can schedule Hack & Snack events. Yes, that means you! If you want company for lunch or brunch or drinks or whatevs, please feel free to schedule it …

I left my hometown last year for a new job in NYC, and one of the things I miss the most is brunch with friends! I'd love to meet up with local Brooklyn folks who are interested in getting together for weekend brunch and making new friends.
