Join StreetPass NYC for a fun picnic on our own version of Tortimer Island! We encourage others to add their own food and non-alcoholic drinks to the mix. It can be anything from a bag of pretzels to carrot slices or a desert! As long as it's portable and will not leave a giant mess at the end.

In order to partake in the food eating, you must bring at least one share-able food or drink item yourself. This food item must be posted on the Facebook Event page or E-Mail at streetpassnyc@gmail.com and be approved by our staff. In that post, please list all of the ingredients of the food so people can beware of allergies.

A "Conference of Mayors" meeting at Coney Island is in the works for Summer 2013. "Conference of Mayors" meetings in Autumn and Winter will be announced at a later date. Please look to each "Conference of Mayors" meeting event's individual press releases, event pages and our blog for any schedule changes for rain.

StreetPass NYC is a subset of the much larger, global-wide grassroots StreetPass Network of meetings popping up all over the globe from America to Japan and South Africa. For more information, please visithttp://www.streetpassnetwork.com
