  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

  The Dumbo Loft

  155 Water St, Brooklyn, New York, NY, USA

  • Spaces for 140-200 Guests
  • 1 Event Space

  Originally a residential block, the Dumbo neighborhood developed into a major factory area in the late 1800s-early 1900s. Soon, the manufacturer Edward H. Cole established it as one of the most industrial neighborhoods in the city. This brought in William Taylor & Sons Columbian Iron Works on Adams and Water Street, a sign making company, a brass foundry, a two-story machine shop and storage facility for E. W. Bliss and Phillips, Doup & Company. Many of these factories in the area were demolished to make way for the Manhattan Bridge. Luckily, the building at 155 Water Street wasn’t affected by the construction of the bridge and has a long history of manufacturing ironworks and other materials. In 1905, Edward Cole used the factory to make steam fittings then leasing out the property to Phillips, Doup & Company, who built steam heaters. Cole sold the building in 1920 to L&H Stern, manufacturers of smoking pipes and accessories. The company used the lower floors as offices and the upstairs as the production space. The simple brick facade, articulated by segmental openings and projecting lintels and sills, marks 155 Water Street as an example of the American round arch style. Additionally, the slow-burning mill construction and history make it an amazing representative of American factory architecture – contributing greatly to the character of the Dumbo Historic District.
