Mondo Culto is a thriving, obsessive, and elaborate "be-in" for friends of Cult Films and the stepping to the punk beat of the East Village: Ass Juice at the Double Down, Karoake at Planet Rose, Cheese Fries at Crif Dogs, and Midnight Movies at the Landmark Sunshine Cinema are just some of the staples of La Vida Mondo Culto. So if you like living after midnight and rocking till the dawn, The Mondo Culto Experience is for you!

Rules are sort of lame to put on for a book club, …

This group is strictly (and, I cannot emphasize this enough, strictly) for single people age 25-39 who live in Manhattan. (NOTE: NJ is NOT Manhattan!) I created this group because, like many single professionals who live and work in the greatest city in the world, i am sick of meeting people at "Manhattan" events who live in Hoboken, Bushwick, White Plains, Long Island, Astoria, etc.  We know you "just don't understand" why we aren't interested in commuting to the outer boroughs, NJ or upstate N …

… We also have an additional class location in the East Village. Please call or email for details.

Feel free to bring your version of the Bhagavad Gita. We discuss the Gita all levels-spiritual, philosophical, and intellectual putting it in context to today's world.

I'd love book clubs if it wasn't for the reading. This club is about reading captivating articles of modest length, and then chatting about them over a drink. Articles can be about whatever we want: corruption, religion, Jesse Ventura, high school popularity, etc. We meet in Manhattan, usually in Union Square, the East Village or LES.

If you like this idea, and you own one of the games above, or have played one of them before, and are looking for people to get your game on with in a non-warehouse-like atmosphere, this is the group for you. Join and we'll go …

People curious about the NY live music scene are welcome to join and meet up to visit the most cutting edge live music events with an occasional open bar along the way. Focus on Brooklyn and the East Village, great atmosphere, young talent, fresh sounds, shows with no cover or with admisson …
