At SPIN, we come together to socialize and celebrate play. At our core is the drive to connect through ping pong—a game that transcends age, gender and boundaries. We are the original ping pong social club, your offline social network, a place to call home. We welcome diversity and embrace the unconventional. With venues in New York, Chicago, San Francisco, Toronto, Philadelphia, Seattle and Austin we encourage you to participate. Do it together and never alone. In 2007, best friends Jonathan Bricklin and Franck Raharinosy had a crazy idea: they would practice ping pong 24 hours a day, seven days a week until they were good enough to make the United States Olympic Team. In order to prepare for the Olympics, they began throwing weekly ping pong parties, just like any other future Olympian would. Their parties drew in a diverse group of people, including artists and actors, musicians and bankers, brokers and broadcasters, and (of course) professional ping pong players and everyone in between, among others. Spinning was born out of the fun and vibrant energy generated by the diverse group of people who attended the first event. We gather at SPIN to socialize and to celebrate the joy of playing. Ping pong is at the heart of our desire to connect with one another, and it is a game that transcends age, gender, ethnicity, and all physical boundaries. We are the original ping pong social club, your offline social network, and a place where you can feel at ease and at ease with yourself. We are open to new ideas and are not afraid of the unconventional. We encourage you to participate in our events in New York, Chicago, San Francisco, Toronto, Philadelphia, Seattle, Washington DC, and Boston, which will be held in a variety of locations. Do it as a group, never by yourself. #UnitedbyPingPong

As the National Maritime Union's headquarters, the nautically themed structure was originally designed by New Orleans modernist architect Albert Ledner in 1968 to serve as the union's headquarters. In the late 1940s, Ledner worked as an apprentice under the renowned architect Frank Lloyd Wright, where he developed his own playful style. This fanciful approach to modernism was long dismissed by design purists, but The Maritime is now considered to be part of a wave of modernist architecture that is being viewed in a completely different light than it was previously. It had been open since 2003 but had undergone a transformation to better reflect its enviable location in the heart of Manhattan's fashion, art, food and business districts as well as the city's technology and creative industries. It was the first luxury hotel in the neighborhood, distinguished by its signature porthole windows, white-tiled exterior, and elevated outdoor terraces overlooking Ninth Avenue. As the modern, cool heart of Manhattan's Meatpacking District/West Chelsea neighborhood, the Maritime Hotel has maintained its position.
