We are living in a city full of new people, lonely people, shy people or people with really mixed-up environments and no one should go to concert or jam on his own.

So, its not about organizing events on the first hand, its about coming together, visit, see, learn and feel. (and of course: Listen and dance). If there w …

Examples of some neighborhoods are Chinatown, Hell's Kitchen, Astoria, and Greenpoint.

This group is for Asians in the NYC area who are in their 30's and 40's.

Future activities will include the upcoming Salsa class, picnics, waterfalls cabin camping, NYC guided walking tours, museum guided tours, comed …
