How To Meet People in NYC

I don’t know about the rest of you that live in NYC, but I have been here for almost 2 years, and other than the friends I’ve met through work, or my church, I have one hell of a time making friends! I’ve also lived in Chicago, and Wisconsin, and no other place I’ve been have I had as much difficulty making friends than I have here. When I first moved I was talking to my co-worker who said she also had a very difficult time, so she took up knitting, and joined a knitting club to meet people (I am not even joking). A few other people I’ve talked to have also said the only way they’ve been able to meet people is through volunteering, joining a group, or networking events. The nice thing about the networking events that are hosted in the city is that they are full of people wanting to meet other people.

I’ve attended a few of these networking events and my favorite one is No Tie Networking. It’s a networking group that is full of younger professionals, without being so stuffy. Usually there is a networking event at a bar once a month. There is no entry fee, but drinks are on your own. Be sure to bring a business card as they are the easiest way to get your name & number out there, but mostly it’s just a great way to meet a lot of people.

Here is the next event:

Ellen and Portia Get Hitched!

Ellen and Portia were married in an intimate ceremony on Saturday. After 5 years of being together the couple celebrated with 19 guests, including both of their mothers, wearing Zac Posen. According to a source they were “hugging and kissing and looking ecstatic.” They exchanged Neil Lane platinum and diamond wedding bands. Portia’s 3 carat engagement ring was made by the same designer. Congrats to the happy couple!

7 For All Mankind

Long time celebrity favorite, this brand has been worn by: Paris Hilton, Sienna Miller, Beyoncé Knowles, Eva Longoria, Rachel Bilson, Mary-Kate & Ashley Olsen, Britney Spears, Cameron Diaz, Halle Berry, Lauren Conrad, Jennifer Aniston. I’ve often wondered why 7 for all mankind jeans have such a huge fan base, and have seen the red carpet more than a pair of Dior heels (well maybe not more but pretty darn close), and so I started to investigate.

I have found that almost anyone can wear these gorgeous jeans and look sophisticated and sleek. The cut is phenomenal and they pay such a close attention to detail. From the stitching and hard-wear to the pockets and finish. It’s no wonder that they are worn by so many celebrities are wearing these during the day and at night at the red carpet.
