The Atlanta Ex-NewYorkers Meetup

"Hello everyone. My wife and I are new to Atlanta, im from the Jersey shore she's from Westchester. We both went to Manhattan college. Looking to meet new people."

"Welcome to the group Maryanne :)"

"moved to canton, ga, looking for a bar that will play ny giants games, any help would be appreciated"

"welcome to the group. hope 2 see you at the sportsbar on the 16th.. what part of NY r u from? i'm from Springfield Gardens (Queens) now the "official" Hood"

"Katherine- Well, not really sure what one has to do with another- the pub is a bar that allows smoking, though there is a terrace where people can sit outside. The drive-in is all outdoors so, not sure what the smoking issue would be persay since I believe you sit in your own car... am I misunderstanding your question?"

"Hi Cat, I look forward to the 1st meetup and the subway series!"

"hey katherine, I think the goal (at least mine is anyway) is to be able to have all different kinds of meetups, kid friendly, adult friendly, family, casual, planned, etc. I am hoping to find a co-organizer so that we're not limited to meeting when my schedule permits- especially since a lot of kid friendly activities are not necessarily great with a 7 month old ;) anyway, keep me posted with any ideas you have or if you would like to hostess an event :)"

"YEAH I moved to Alpharetta and though i was gonna lose my mind so i had to get back to some kind of city life. I fly to NY (i land in Morristown airport) often in my 4 seater. leave your number or email at mrblackpilot@aol.com"

"I do have a car. I HATE Henry County, but not fond of the state of Georgia either, am homesick. My God can't believe u went 2 JHS 231 that's near where i grew up in Springfld Gdns -- i went to P.S. 115, 118 and then St. Catherine of Sienna. holla back bro. my son has been playing Grand Theft Auto IV and it makes me homesick. We should let you fly us all there!!! :) "

"how do you live in Henry county without a car? I just moved downtown Atlanta, couldnt take the boring burbs no more! I grew up in Springfield Gardenn went to JHS 231 www.TomsCoupons.com It's Totally FREE to advertise on my site!"

"hello, What part of NY are you from, I was born in Brooklyn, raised in Queens"

"I think I may have had a pretty good idea- though it's only a good idea if lots of people agree.... but I was thinking it might be lots of fun to do a meetup to go see the Sex and the City movie- we can..."

"Fellow New Yorkers...Now, Atlanta is not for everyone. You really have to be ready to make the adjustment. Everything is slow down here but you will live a more fulfilled life. I've been here since 1977 and don't miss NY at all. As I mention all of the time, you have to make friends and do things with people to really enjoy all that Atlanta has to offer. Why go back...move forward. If you've done NY already then make it happen for you here. It's so costly to go back and picking back up."

"Hey - Thanks for starting this one. I am from Brooklyn and lived in Yonkers...Looking for other NY's... Peace"

"Hola! Originally from Brooklyn, I've been in Atlanta for the last 3 and 1/2 years.. All of my friends have moved out of Atlanta, and I'm looking to expand my social circle here. Would love to meet fellow transplants. =)"

"I have lived here in atlanta since Jan.2004 have found a lot of great resturants that remind me of home. I am single and looking for that someone special. who knows maybe an ex-new yorker."
