Amateur Radio New York

Coffee and Music

Lets call it a summer send off! As usual there's no pressure...no fee...you can just roll off the couch and come as you are to sip coffee, play, sing, chat, or just enjoy the laid back atmosphere with some fellow amateur musicians like yourself (as we sadly say goodbye to summer 2026... )The official time is 4p-8p but honestly, you can come as early or stay as late as you want. Hope to see you there :)

Hot takes + Hot dates! \*As written up in USA Today - [https://www.usatoday.com/story/life/health-wellness/2026/01/20/hot-take-dating-trend-explained-daters-singles/88216787007/](http://%5Bhttps//www.usatoday.com/story/life/health-wellness/2026/01/20/hot-take-dating-trend-explained-daters-singles/88216787007/%5D(https://www.usatoday.com/story/life/health-wellness/2026/01/20/hot-take-dating-trend-explained-daters-singles/88216787007/) "\[https://www.usatoday.com/story/life/health-wellness/2026/01/20/hot-take-dating-trend-explained-daters-singles/88216787007/\](https://www.usatoday.com/story/life/health-wellness/2026/01/20/hot-take-dating-trend-explained-daters-singles/88216787007/)") Check out the newest and "hottest" type of speed dating! Skip the small talk and share your personal opinions on some interesting topics! The idea is to accelerate finding compatibility by being your true authentic self. **How it works**: Ladies will receive a complimentary drink upon before a 7pm arrival time. During the speed dating, ladies will sit and men will rotate. At the beginning of each round, there will be a question/topic in which each participant will offer their “hot take” on the subject matter and question posed. As you sit across from your new potential match, each person will be allotted a 1 minute timed window to offer your personal opinion/viewpoint, and then both participants will have 3 minutes to ask further clarifying questions and have a conversation on the matter in a respectful, light hearted manner. Your matches will be delivered the next day, and everyone will receive a complimentary after party going on in the same venue until 10 pm. **What To Expect:** * New and innovative speed dating concept which accelerates true compatibility * Ladies receive complimentary drink upon entry before 7pm arrival * Ages of the speed dating will be eligible singles who are in 20s & 30s * Complimentary after party with additional singles in the same age range * Your matches delivered the next day via email or text As venue is waiving their rental fee, a 1 item minimum spend is for men in food or drink at the venue, and only for ladies who miss their complimentary drink after 7 pm. Dress code: Dress to impress/business casual. Please arrive at the starting time of the event so you can settle in, enjoy complimentary billiards, ping pong if the mood strikes you.

Early Morning NYC Photo Series: Brooklyn Waterfront, Architecture & Streets

We're heading to the Brooklyn waterfront to photograph one of New York City's most spectacular urban environments. **For approximately 90 minutes, we'll explore the DUMBO/Brooklyn Bridge Park area**, looking beyond the obvious skyline photograph and looking for the many different photographic opportunities around us. 📍 Meeting Point **DUMBO Archway Plaza — Water Street between Pearl Street and Anchorage Place** **We'll meet near the iconic Manhattan Bridge view and then make our way toward the waterfront and Brooklyn Bridge Park.** 📷 What we'll look for • Manhattan skyline views • Brooklyn and Manhattan Bridge perspectives • Reflections and waterfront compositions • Architecture and geometric shapes • Morning light on buildings • People interacting with the environment • Boats and activity along the East River • Details that might otherwise be overlooked The challenge is to photograph the waterfront as more than just a postcard. Try looking for people, architecture, water, and light. We'll keep the pace relaxed and stop frequently to photograph. **The goal isn't to cover every part of the waterfront—it's to give ourselves time to see and photograph what's around us.** Who should attend? All photography experience levels are welcome. Bring whatever camera you enjoy using: 📷 DSLR 📷 Mirrorless 📷 Compact camera 📱 Smartphone Feel free to bring a wide-angle lens for the larger scenes, but **don't overlook a normal or telephoto lens for isolating interesting details.** **We'll share ideas and discuss what we're seeing as we photograph.** Explore the Brooklyn waterfront with your camera. Please arrive a few minutes early. We'll begin photographing promptly at 7:30 AM. 📸 Let's see what we can find along the Brooklyn waterfront.
