Everyone is born with psychic abilities. However, not everyone finds the medium that allows them to express it. This meet-up is designed to introduce you to different ways to percieve and understand the mind of others as well as your own. Each person has a medium that is right for him or her, in order to express latent psychic abilities. While these mediums are used by others to foretell the future. Our goal is mainly to help you see first what events of your past are influencing the choices yo …

COMFORTABLE PACE, HELMET OPTIONAL, FULL DAY URBAN EXPLORATION, AND FOOD I started this group for the more leisurely paced rider who enjoys riding slower like I do, but who enjoys exploring in and around NYC for day-long adventures.

Coffee beans have up to 800 flavor characteristics that our senses can detect. Red wine, by comparison, only has 400. Most coffee connoisseurs prefer mild roasts because the longer a coffee bean is roasted the more characteristics that are burned off. Tasting coffee is an art form. To detect the most amount of flavor from the coffee bean, it must be tasted properly. Coffee tasting works much like wine tasting. As in wine tasting, coffee tasting has special terms, used to describe the taste of co …

This is inspired by a man who used to show up at a 24/hr diner near me dressed as Edgar Allen Poe at 4am to just read by himself and have some coffee. I started going dressed as Dylan Thomas, and though we didn't interact much, it was nice to set aside some designated "me time" out of the house, and have a familiar face nearby. He's seemed to have stopped going out, but I was hoping to extend the community to others! You can come as a literary person, a philosopher, or other thinker. Please, if …
