I've attended figure drawing sessions at the Art Students League and at Draw New York. DNY is in a much more personal space, where you can work more closely to the model and also where you can get to know the other would-be artists you're drawing with.
The monitors who I know from my meetings, Jeff and Simon, are great about creating a casual, welcoming environment. There's always cool, non-intrusive background music, cookies, and friendly humor setting the tone.
One other point that can't be ignored is that the National Arts Club, where the meeting are held, is an amazingly beautiful turn-of-the-century brownstone Mansion on Gramercy Park with regular art exhibits that leave you feeling immersed in an artistic/esthetic sensibility from the moment you arrive.
I highly recommend the DNY figure drawing meetings for beginners and advanced artists who want an opportunity to draw and to spend time with nice like-minded people.
