Cribbage in New York City? Where?

I haven't played cribbage since my lallygagging senior days at Der Rathskellar of my uni's student union. Recently I've wanted to start playing again. No one I know plays, though. Sure, I can teach them, but it'd be nice to play with people who already know the game.

Is there any place to play here in NYC? I've not found anyone on Craigslist or any Meetup group of players, nor can I afford to run one at the moment. Googling got me the national association, but there's no branch here. Suggestions? Thanks.

The old Manhattan Chess Club (no longer around) used to have some cribbage players on a daily basis. Perhaps the Marshall Chess Club does as well, or someone there could tell you . . .

Also, maybe call one of the Bridge clubs in New York. Bridge and Cribbage players are often one and the same.
