Matador NYC Meet-Up Kicks Off New Offline Events

Last month, I hosted the first of these meet-ups with a diverse group of Matadorians who live in and around New York City. There was Robert Hirschfield, who’s a regular contributor to the Traveler’s Notebook; Eve Hyman, a long-time Matadorian who’s recently back from an expat stint in Buenos Aires; Jessica Stuart, who did some serious hero work on Matador’s Haiti earthquake response back in January; Norbert Figueroa, an architect and MatadorU writing student; Spencer Spellman, the travel blogger behind The Traveling Philosopher; Alisha Miranda, the force who organized Matador’s and SoSauce’s NYC party last summer; and a handful of editors and other friends.

We gathered together around the fire at the Hudson Hotel’s Library Bar and got so into our conversation that we forgot to order drinks… or take a photo. Can’t tell you what we talked about, though — you’ve gotta come to a meet-up for that.

Good times.

Meet-ups are scheduled for Boston (December 13) and Chicago (January 13).
