Newark meetup revival: testing the waters to see interest

Submitted by eastaleph t3_10r4g58 in Newark

Before the pandemic, I ran a (single) Newark Reddit meetup. People have asked about it and I think things have improved enough to do it, but I wanted to see what the subreddit thought.

What I'm currently thinking is a downtown location at the end of February. Not sure how often I'd want to run it - but probably around every other month?

Your thoughts and opinions are very welcome because I'd love to run this again. Last time it was well received and I hope to keep that going.

If you did it, I’d go. I live in downtown Newark and I constantly marvel at how little there is to do in this town after hours.

For real it’s like a dead Midwest city, not the largest city in the most densely populated state in the country 10 miles west of Manhattan. Baffling honestly

I'd be down to go. This sub has really been moving in an activist direction, and I think meeting in person would only strengthen that.

Might be easier to piggyback in an existing event like Newark First Fridays.
