What members read between meetings
A.A.'s own literature does most of the heavy lifting between meetings in New York. These are the books most often spotted on a member's bookshelf, with a short note on what each one is for. Each card is tagged with its language.
The book Bill W. and Dr. Bob wrote first, in 1939. Most members pick up a copy in their first week or two and keep it close.
Look on AmazonBill W.'s longer essays on each Step and each Tradition. The usual companion read once the Big Book starts to feel familiar.
Look on AmazonLiving Sober
EnglishA short, practical book about the day-to-day of staying sober. Often the one a sponsor suggests in the first month.
Look on AmazonDaily Reflections
EnglishOne short A.A. reading for each day of the year, with a thought to carry into it. Members often keep a copy on the kitchen counter.
Look on AmazonAs Bill Sees It
EnglishBrief passages from A.A.'s co-founder, arranged by topic. Some groups read one aloud at the top of every meeting.

New York City: five boroughs, twenty languages, all night and all day
New York Intergroup coordinates several thousand weekly meetings across the five boroughs. Manhattan alone has historic groups running continuously since the 1940s, with downtown lunch meetings near the courts, Midtown groups serving office workers, an Upper West Side calendar centered on Lincoln Square and Morningside Heights, and an Upper East Side calendar concentrated around the hospitals. The East Village, Lower East Side, Chelsea, and West Village have a strong LGBTQ+ AA presence dating back decades. Brooklyn's calendar is enormous, with neighborhood-specific clusters in Park Slope, Williamsburg, Brooklyn Heights, Bay Ridge, and Bed-Stuy. Queens has a dense Spanish-language and Bengali-language meeting presence in Jackson Heights, Elmhurst, and Jamaica. The Bronx and Staten Island each have their own established meeting networks.
Long Island and the Hudson Valley
Suffolk County General Service and Nassau Intergroup serve Long Island, with meeting calendars across more than a hundred communities from the western Nassau border out to Montauk and Orient Point. The Hudson Valley intergroups (Westchester, Rockland, Orange, Putnam, Dutchess, Ulster) cover the suburbs and commuter towns north of the city, with denser calendars in White Plains, New Rochelle, Yonkers, Poughkeepsie, and Newburgh. Kingston, New Paltz, and the smaller Hudson Valley towns have a distinct meeting culture that draws weekenders and full-time residents.
Capital Region, Mohawk Valley, and the North Country
Albany-Schenectady-Troy is the Capital Region hub, with Capital Region Intergroup covering Albany, Rensselaer, Saratoga, and the surrounding counties. The Mohawk Valley (Utica, Rome, Amsterdam) has historic groups dating to the 1940s and 50s. The North Country (Plattsburgh, Watertown, Massena, Saranac Lake, Lake Placid) maintains a tight-knit meeting network across a vast geography, with online and hybrid options that make weekly attendance possible even in the smallest Adirondack communities.
Western New York and the Finger Lakes
Western New York Intergroup serves Buffalo and the surrounding Erie and Niagara county communities; the meeting culture reflects the city's blue-collar history with several long-running groups in the East Side, West Side, and South Buffalo neighborhoods. Rochester has its own intergroup covering Monroe County and reaching out to Geneva, Canandaigua, and the Finger Lakes towns. Syracuse anchors Central New York with meetings across Onondaga County. Binghamton, Elmira, and the Southern Tier counties round out the meeting coverage along the Pennsylvania border.
Getting to a meeting in New York
MTA subway, bus, and commuter rail (LIRR, Metro-North) cover New York City and the immediate suburbs; for many city residents, a meeting is within walking distance regardless of borough. PATH and NJ Transit connect to North Jersey. Outside the metro, intercity options include Amtrak (Empire Service, Adirondack, Lake Shore Limited, Maple Leaf), Greyhound, and a strong regional bus network.
