An in person meetup at Whole Foods located at 63 Madison Avenue on 28 Street in Manhattan. Look for us on the second floor. Make a purchase downstairs. You can take the stairs or elevator upstairs. A variety of food, they do have salads and pizza. Closest subway stop is 28 Street. The 6 train stops one block east and the R and W are a couple of blocks west. A short walk from either one. If you RSVP and cannot attend, change your RSVP to NO. I will have an assortment of games, mostly of the party, word and trivia variety. I'm limiting the attendance, so the sooner you respond, the better.

Board gamers of all kinds are welcome to our Thursday night board gaming event. **If this will be your first time attending on a Thursday, we highly recommend that you join our [Discord server](https://discord.gg/f3uqDJjEec) to find a scheduled game to join.** The majority of Thursday evening games are pre-scheduled via Discord, but we do leave one or two tables open for unscheduled games—if you would like to play at one of those tables please arrive as close to the 6PM start time as possible to increase the chance that there will be space available. Looking for something more freeform? Try our Friday and Sunday events, which are almost entirely comprised of unscheduled, “pick-up” games for you to play! Entrance is $8, paid to Squarrel Cafe for unlimited gaming for the day. Food and drink are available. Attendees are strongly encouraged to support our host, Squarrel Cafe.
