From the editor: Young left-leaners gather at drinking holes around the city for camaraderie and to get the latest progressive low down. From what we've seen, they're a friendly open-minded lot, so moderates and even the occasional conservative need not stay at bay.

The main, founding, chapter meets at Rudy's in Hell's Kitchen, with other offshoots in Park Slope, West Bronx, Queens, Chelsea and the Upper East Side.

They also have related "laughing liberally," "eating liberally" and "reeling liberally" events which you'll have to visit the Cosmopolity site to get more info on, since they ain't listed here.

From their site: The original gathering of this national weekly progressive social club to share ideas as your share pitchers, promoting democracy one pint in a time.

Informal and welcoming, come any point in the night.
