#### THINGS TO KNOW:

- This is a munch, meaning no sex acts will be allowed at this event, and kink is only allowed in the classroom area upstairs during relevant workshops/highlights. However, discussion is allowed and encouraged anywhere during the even! This is primarily a social gathering to meet fellow geeks and kinksters and enjoy a fun evening of games and conversation. Full rules can be found [here](https://go.geekaholic.nyc/rules).

- As always, this event is open to anyone and everyone to attend. We aim to create a safe space for members of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community and other marginalized groups. If anyone ever makes you feel unsafe at our events, please don't hesitate to reach out to our staff either in person, or via [PM](https://fetlife.com/conversations/new?with=16448984).

- Our events are at a *dedicated* venue at Prime Produce Co-op and are graciously hosted by PLAN Gaming (https://www.plangaming.org/), which is a non-profit incubator. All people present in the space will specifically be there for this event, so we can talk openly about kink and related topics.

- At Geekaholic, we believe in making our events accessible to everyone, so Geekaholic Munches operate on a "Pay What You Can" model. While we suggest a donation of $20, every contribution helps us sustain our partnership with Prime Produce and helps enrich our own future event programming.

- The space houses 90 games in its library and counting (see the full list on our [discord](https://go.geekaholic.nyc/discord)). But also, feel free to bring your own games! All board game skill levels, from newbie onward, are welcome!

- Our venue has a dedicated Jamaican café with liquor offerings on premises. Our events used to allow outside food and drink, but this is no longer the case. Exceptions can be granted to volunteers and people with dietary restrictions upon request.

- We usually play board games for about five hours and then go for drinks at a nearby bar. Everyone (21+) is welcome for both!

#### ✨**June Highlights**✨

**Ice Breakers** (6pm - 7pm)

*by @CuddleKnight*

If you're a returning member or new and haven't been at Geekaholic before we always begin with a short round of Ice Breakers giving you a chance to introduce yourself, share what games you want to play or a bit about your kink Journey.

**Switch Gaming Corner**

As usual a Nintendo Switch will be available for your use in our cozy Console Corner! Want to bring your own switch? No problem, plug into our dock. Want to bring another console to share and connect to our projector? Let us know!

#### **Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):**

📍 **Am I at the right place?**

*The building is unmarked since it's an event space and food co-op office normally (because hey, New York). Come into 424 West 54th Street and find our signup desk right at the entrance.*

🎭 **What is a Munch?**

*A BDSM munch is a friendly, social gathering of people interested in BDSM or kink. It is a good event for newcomers, providing a safe space to learn, socialize and establish a rapport within the kink community. There is no nudity or sex, just fellow kinksters talking (and playing games). Feel free to dress comfortably. We focus on creating a welcoming environment for everyone!*

😨 **I’m feeling nervous! I’ve never been to something like this.**

*Don't hesitate to get in touch with us and let us know! We’ll take steps to introduce you to others and make you more comfortable. Don’t worry, all you’ll find is a bunch of people with similar interests playing games and having fun! If you have any questions about the event, send us a PM, [here](https://fetlife.com/conversations/new?with=16448984&subject=Event%20Question)!*

🍔 **Can we bring our own food, drinks, and/or beer?**

*No, unfortunately. In the past this was allowed, but since the cafe got its liquor license, this is no longer widely the case. However, exceptions can be granted to volunteers or people with dietary restrictions upon request.*

⚓ **What is “Cruising” and why is it prohibited at our events?**

*“Cruising” involves either mass messaging attendees or attending events solely with the intent of soliciting casual sex or advertising other events and not seeking meaningful connections. More generally, we also consider any messages, even towardf that show a clear disregard for people's boundaries as clearly stated in their profiles to be a form of cruising.*

*In a BDSM munch, this goes against the respectful, consensual nature. Munches prioritize building connections, fostering community, and open conversations, not pursuing purely sexual encounters. If you receive a message that you suspect to be cruising, please let us know via PM, [here](https://fetlife.com/conversations/new?with=16448984&subject=Cruise%20Report).*

📅 **How can I stay up to date with upcoming events?**

*Stay connected and be the first to know about our monthly Tabletop RPG sessions, munches, road trips, parties, and more by joining our FetLife group [here](https://go.geekaholic.nyc/fetlife-group)*

📞 **Is there a way to stay in touch with everyone I meet?**

*Absolutely! Connect with your friends and fellow attendees through our Geekaholic Discord server [here](https://go.geekaholic.nyc/discord)*

💨 **Is Marijuana/Vaping allowed?**

*Feel free to step outside to smoke. Smoking indoors is prohibited, so please be considerate of those who may not partake.*

🔞 **Will I need to be over 21 to attend?**

*No. You can attend as long as you're over 18. However, for the purchase/consumption of alcoholic beverages, you must present valid photo identification showing you are 21 or older to comply with NY state laws.*

📣 **How do I get involved or support the Geekaholic community?**

*Yes, thank you for asking! We are looking for new volunteers and staff members! If you are interested, please fill out the form [here](https://go.geekaholic.nyc/volunteer).*
