Secret Science Club “I don’t like to promote us as a dating scene, but some natural selection may take place,” says Margaret Mittelbach, cocurator of this free science-lecture series. “Is there a nerd factor? Absolutely. But the last time we checked the zeitgeist, being a smarty smartenheimer was hot.” Union Hall, 702 Union St at Fifth Ave, Park Slope, Brooklyn (718-638-4400, secretscienceclub.blogspot.com). First Wednesday of every month.

Video Games New York “The employees here were straight out of anime central casting,” wrote blogger John Teti on Geek Out New York, about this gamer shop. “I’m 99 percent sure that, at night, they transform into their true forms and fight evil robots.” 202 E 6th St between Bowery and Second Ave (212-539-1039, videogamesnewyork.com)
