Don't Be a Stranger:
Things to See and Do:
- The New York City Steampunk Social Calendar - listing all steampunk and 19th century events in the tri-state area, with a dash of science and scientific romance for good measure.
- The Steampunk Map of New York City - a Google map with pins for places of interest to native steampunks as well as visitors from faraway lands (a work-in-progress)
- Bartitsu, the Lost Martial Art of Sherlock Holmes - the "gentlemanly art of self-defense" was practiced by fashionable men and women in turn-of-the-century London, but when the Bartitsu Club closed in 1902, it was forgotten for nearly a century. Learn about upcoming seminars and events, as well as the history of this fascinating martial art that has only recently been rediscovered.
- The Way Station's calendar of events - Brooklyn's steampunk bar is a favorite spot for musical entertainment, burlesque, Doctor Who screenings, and friendly socializing over the bar's unique cocktails and guest beers.
Coming Soon:
- Who We Are - Meet the local individuals and organizations that make our our loose collective of NYC steampunks
- Goings-On - Our recurring events - monthly picnics, teas, the steampunk book club and meet-up, as well as the annual and semi-annual conventions, dances, and other cyclical events of interest.
- Photo Galleries - See all the past fun and regret that you weren't around then - but there's always another chance to get involved! All you have to do is show up at an event and say Hello - it's that easy.
