 surrounding sections of the New York metro area who are interested in boar
 d gaming.\n**Note:** Currently\, there are multiple sections within this g
 roup which meet at various locations. **Please be sure to RSVP for the cor
 rect section.**\n\n**This section will meet at Mangia Bene in Great Neck a
 s part of a testing phase from 2 to 8 PM.**\n\n**VENUE AND TIME ALLOTTED**
 \n\n**Mangia Bene is an Italian restaurant located at 624 Middle Neck Road
  in Great Neck. For those who drive\, it is best to park in the municipal 
 parking lot located diagonally across from the venue (the street parking i
 n front of the venue is for 90 minutes and applies to Sundays as well). Fo
 r those commuting by bus\, the N58 bus line stops nearby.**\n\nMembers arr
 ive and leave at various times\, therefore there is no obligation to stay 
 for the entire time allotted. It is encouraged to post in the Comments sec
 tion what time you plan on arriving/leaving.\n\n**PROTOCOL**\n\n**This ven
 ue is a place of business willing and able to accommodate our group. The m
 inimum spending requirement is $25 – if attendees spend less than this a
 mount\, the staff will automatically charge $25. Attendees can order takeo
 ut style from the counter and bring food to the main dining area. Upon lea

  you (see list below - you can also go to YouTube to preview and familiari
 ze yourself).\n\nBringing your own games is not mandatory\, however if you
  possess any\, feel free to bring them as there are always people looking 
 to learn something new or to find a new favorite board game.\n\nAlso\, it 
 is recommended and encouraged to use the message board here to indicate wh
 ich games are being brought and would like to be played.\n\nYou can also c
