I attend brooklyn monthly meeting and have been going there for the past year. If you are looking for a space for non-judgemental, community driven spirituality I highly recommend. Also just silence in general.
It’s a nice space in prospect heights, I think membership is around 100 a year, I’m not a member but I did a short course there and it was really nice!
Vibrant in person and online meeting presence in NYC
alternative to or in addition to AA, etc.
15 minutes of meditation every meeting and heartfelt shares and kind listeners
just show up!

highly reccomend
This is specifically for NYC people. In Ridgewood Queens there is a hole in the wall high quality chocolate shop.
It’s run by an eccentric and amazing man named Constantine and his wife. He will talk your ear off for a half an hour about “the benefits” of chocolate and how it’s a panacea for pretty much everything. How big chocolate gives away most of the cocoa butter to the cosmetic industry. He’ll also talk to you about how he asks ChatGPT about chocolate and it’s wrong a lot of the time.
You’ll then buy a bar even though it’s small and $10. But you will go home and have a little piece after dinner and never taste chocolate the same way again…
If we click on a rec or ask to comment, like I'm doing now, it would be great that when I go back, it doesn't send me back to the top of the page but rather to the place where I was scrolling previously.
