We're a group of folks who just can't get enough of Italian culture: the food, wine, arts, cinema, language, automobiles, sports and the overall "dolce vita."

With food, we'll try to explore "alta cucina" by dining at restaurants that represent current Italian cuisine and are a departure from the hackneyed "red sauce" menus. Although there's nothing wr …

The purpose of this group is to bring together fans of indie music so that we can discover new tunes, watch bands, and meet other like-minded folk.

No need to drag reluctant friends or going by yourself (or, worse yet, missing a show because you don't want to go by yourself). This group is primarily interested in …

Singles and couples are welcome here!  There's no age limitation either.  This is a super f …
