Welcome to the all new NerdNYC website! We’re psyched to make this site your virtual bento box brimming with handy, fun and enticing nerd-centric delights in the New York City area.
In the coming months we’ll be showcasing our many fantastic gaming events such as Recess, Gotham Gaming Guild, Boardgame Night to name a few. And wait, there’s more: you can follow us on Facebook and Twitter or join us on our daily raves, rants and general musings on our forums!
On SATURDAY, February 4th, 7:00-11:00, NerdNYC will hold a special BONUS Board Game Night at ThinkCoffee (Mercer Street location).
If you have game you want to play, bring it with you! If not, come down anyway and play what others have brought. No experience with the games is necessary!
Enjoy the company of your fellow nerds and eat delicious foodstuffs! ThinkCoffee also sports an excellent wine and beer bar!
Please Note:
No experience is necessary to play! The rules of each game can be taught.
Conversely, if you bring a game, please be prepared to teach it to new players.
Table space at ThinkCoffee is always at something of a premium. We do the best we can, but it is probably better to avoid bringing games that require lots of table space, or ones that take more than 3 hours to finish. Save those games for other events like Recess!

For all you newbies who have yet to experience our brand of Trivia, leave your knowledge of state capitals at home! Forget everything you learned in high school – we won’t be asking you any of that stuff! Instead, our questions are all about the important things in life, such as:
Geography: What is the name of the region of Middle Earth where Hobbits live?
Science and Tech: What device will allow a Delorean to travel back in time?
Parazoology: How long would it take for you to be digested in the belly of the Sarlaac?
Superheroes: When Dick Grayson gets his driver’s license – what car can he take for a spin?
