Description: Public meetings for contact, introduction to polyamory, and
socializing; currently under discussion are private meetings, outings,
and some form of social activism/networking.

Frequency: The second Tuesday of each month in Bound Brook, NJ, at the
Palmyra cafe; the fourth Thursday of each month in Greenwich Village,
NYC, at Song's Restaurant.

Kinds of people:  Those who are pleasant company.  No preference or
selection as to gender, kink, etc.; white-bread is as welcome as cayenne
roti. Are non-poly people welcome:  Yes.

Are children welcome:  Yes, bedtimes permitting.

Costs:  No fee for the meeting; the restaurants are pleased if you buy
dinner, but if you want to have a glass of water and join the
conversation, it's okay by them.  Palmyra has relatively cheap food
($5-$8) and expensive drinks and desserts; little selection as to food,
some on desserts, and a goodly spread on drinks.  Song's is a Vietnamese
restaurant; dinner is around $10-$15 and the food is superb.
Vegetarians can be accomodated at either; Song's also serves
American-style food for the unadventurous.

RSVP's: Not required. 

Exact locations: New Jersey - Palmyra is on Hamilton Street, across from
the Bound Brook train station.  New York - Song's is on MacDougal
Street, about 50 yards north of Bleecker Street or 200 yards south of
the southwest corner of Washington Square Park (nearest subway stop is
West 4th Street).

Accessibility:  Each has a couple of steps; I've seen the staff at
Song's get a wheelchair into the diningroom with no fuss, haven't seen
any at Palmyra, but I wasn't looking.  Don't know about cats. Suspect
Song's might serve one, if asked, but I prefer the clay-pot shrimp.
