At the meets guys bring all kinds of stuff and you will get tons of exposure.

Also, what meets are there in the city? I've lived here all my life and never knew there was this kind of stuff going on...

You can search ny and most of the ny related threads will show up also you can do the same for members

Welcome to the forum, love NYC!!

Hi Matt & welcome to SRP. I started this last night & got side tracked & just now noticed I didn't finish it. There is a lot of information here & more is added each day so just read up on anything you can click on. You can also do an advanced search if looking for something in particular. Great to have you here.
Good luck!

Just double checked it is Pastuers Pharmacy (probably spelled it wrong again) in NYC

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome!
