Love to go to see indie and foreign films and then talk about them afterward? Me, too! Hi, I'm Francesca, an indie filmmaker and trans-media artist who lived in Manhattan for 25 years and thought nothing of calling a friend and suggesting we meet in an hour at one of the many arthouse theaters around town. But, when I moved to NJ I found my friends here did NOT share my tastes so I created the NJ ArthouseFilm Society (just to sound fancy). And, wouldn't you know it, there are tons of people lik …

This group is open to all-- we are  not a "singles group" per se but welcome singles, couples, groups and anyone who'd like to share a meal and explore new and favorite restaurants with us.   If you'd like to support local, family businesses and  entrepreneurs and discover secret gems right in your own backyard, this group is for you.

Get off the couch and just do it! If you thought, "I should do that" or "I should go there," then this group is for you. We are going to touch the stars, travel through time, eat tasty and decadent delights, learn to fly, laugh til we cry, and much more! Together, let's do the things we used to love, the things we'd like to try, and maybe even things we never thought we'd do. Events and Meetups will mostly be in NJ, but we'll also venture to NY, PA, and beyond.

We are a diverse meetup group providing a platform for New Jersey singles (male and female) over 40 to meet other singles for friendship or maybe even find someone special, while participating in fun activities.

Do you like playing boardgames and/or friendly card games, but had difficulty finding like minded friends? I did too!

If you build it.... they will come! And, YAY! Here you are! This group is for seasoned boardgamers/cardgamers as well as for novices. Bring a game that you enjoy playing (bring two!) or learn a new game fr …

I just ask that you be mature and drama free and you are sincere in that you are are looking to meet, socialize, and make lasting connections. Please share the belief and philosophy and intention of wanting to foster and create genu …

My husband and I are doers. We love to travel, meet new people, and try new things. We recently had our first child and moved to a new state at the same time. This has led us to become lonely, old, homebodies and we are putting our foot down. We are looking for couples with babies/toddlers that want to ski/snowboard, rock climb, play volleyball, bbq, swim, bike, play board games, hike, camp, and anything else that might be fun. We want people to join that love their family as much as we do and l …

Looking for other fun, fabulous, energetic moms to share activities both with children and mom nights out? This is the group for you! Living in the suburbs, I feel it's harder to meet other moms than in the city, where everything is at the tip of your finger. Let's join together and plan playdates, go to classes, fun events, stay fit, and form friendships for both ourselves and kids. This group is for any mom expectant and with toddlers up to 4 yrs old.

The purpose of this group is to promote the great game of volleyball to players of all skill levels, and make new friends as we progress.

Everyone who joins will be rated and can attend their rated level or lower. In the end there will be a lot of volleyball to be played. Lets have some fun!

Are you getting tired of the same movie night and bar scene week in and week out? Are you interested in trying new things that don't necessarily include getting hit by paint, being strapped into a harness, or spending mad cash money? Are trips to NYC a drag because of cost and transportation? Do you feel like your "missing out" since the North/Central NJ scene kind of sucks? Are you a creative, artistic, musical or open-minded individual? Do you have a mullet-ful of imagination that cannot be co …

I started this group because I love fishing and it's overlooked as a fun social event. It has a bad reputation, women think it has to be yucky, lol, which isn't true. The purpose of the group is social, we would actually meet often to eat, drink, and plan fishing trips. We could go fishing as often as there is interest but I wouldn't think more than 3-4 times from April to October. DON'T fret ladies about baiting the hook or touching the fish, lol, as there are party boats and private charters …

Let's get to know some other new dads and their kids in Maplewood & South Orange and the nearby area in Western Essex County / Northern NJ. Dads with children of all ages are welcome.
