We are a volunteer group of Bitcoin enthusiasts who want to help foster and grow the NYC Bitcoin community. We host discussions every Thursday at 6:00 PM, with each week focused on a different topic. You can stay up-to-date with event times and locations by joining us on Facebook or Meetup.

We look forward to establishing a vibrant community here in NYC, and hope to see
you all at our next meeting!

An interesting article about bitcoin trading in union square park:

I personally use coinbase.com for all of my buying and selling.

Thanks for this, a meet up group was pretty much exactly what I was looking for. I would use one of the websites/exchanges but between the fees, set up times, non-ease of use, etc... They all just seem like headaches. Unless your really looking to invest in/get into Bitcoin heavily.
