Gotham Go Group - Tuesdays at the Hungarian

Gotham Go Group - Tuesdays at the Hungarian

Tue, Aug 25, 9:00 PM
From Gotham Go Group
4.8

Every Tuesday evening from 5 - closing. All are welcome, from beginners to pros. We usually have 8-15 players show up. This is a casual coffee house environment so don't expect a Go tournament kind of silence, but rather a din of conversation that is probably the vanguard of intellectual New York. Absolutely free, it costs nothing to play, and there is nothing to join. But PLEASE do get a drink, dessert or both to support the good folks at the Hungarian Pastry Shop who so graciously allow us to use their storied and humble space. We have some boards and stones, but it never hurts to bring your own.

Please order some food and drinks to thank B&N for hosting us. It's win-win.
