What we’re about
Calling all Native New Yorkers - and we don't just mean just the 5 boroughs, wherever you lived in New York state. If you have fond memories from there and want to hear a familiar accent, share laughs, memories and fondness for things that just didn't travel down I-95 with you (good food, good shows and friends, fun cruises and more) or just want to explore your new surroundings with those who "get" your wit and sense of humor, then this is the group for you.
Membership Requirements and Policies
To join, for security & recognition purposes, please post a photo of yourself; the Brooklyn Bridge or your pet is not acceptable. New members will not be approved without a recognizable photo and valid email contact information. Please complete the profile questions and agree to the policies and await acceptance.
Our events are primarily located in the local tri city area, St Petersburg, Clearwater and Tampa.
Please RSVP for a meetup only if you are responding “Yes” (A “No” response is not necessary, as it is implied by not responding). RSVP deadlines vary for each event and are determined by the event organizer based on the venue management requirements. Anyone who responds to an event after the deadline or after the maximum number of attendees is reached will be placed on a “wait list”. We ask that you be respectful and considerate toward those on the wait list by cancelling or updating your “No” response or updating your number of guests attending no later than 48 hours prior to the event. Late cancellations will be considered a “No Show”. Any member with two or more “No Shows” will be removed from the group.
All members are expected to conduct themselves appropriately, in a manner that represents the positive, friendly spirit of the group. This applies to conduct toward other members and event staff, both at events and online.
We are a fun-loving group of NYERs and we welcome new members with open arms. All members are encouraged to make suggestions for future events related their own experiences, interests or hobbies. Please the organizers, if you have a suggestion. If you would like to host an event, you can choose the activity, the location and time. The more suggestions and hosts we have, the greater the variety of event types and venues, the better for all.
