The Gotham Go Group was founded in 2011 by Peter Armenia a few months after he relocated to New York City. At the time there was no regular weekly Go in New York City (smokey Korean and Chinese clubs notwithstanding) so he created one right around the corner at The Hungarian Pastry Shop. They had their first meeting there on Tuesday October 4th, 2011.
Since then we have revived go in NYC, held numerous tournaments, brought the US Go Congress to Manhattan, introduced Go to countless folks, appeared in The Surrounding Game movie, awarded some of the coolest prizes in the Go world, spawned other go get togethers in the city, and survived the darkest days of the Covid19 pandemic meeting outside during the winter of 20/21.
And we still meet there every Tuesday evening.
