Istanbul Ex-NewYorkers Meetup Group

Meet with former New Yorkers, who are now living in Istanbul and would like to meet familiar people, talk of old neighborhoods or travel to the city sometime.

We have started this group to meet with old friends and get to know new people in the Istanbul area who have relocated from New York - just to hang out, share experiences & insights on the new community, talk about the transition and fun things to do in Istanbul; maybe reminisce on what you miss about New York and what you love about Istanbul. (If you're not from New York and you want to hang out, that's great too!) Hope to see you there!
