These outings are intended to help people make friends. These are not dating gatherings. 🧍‍♂️ 🧍‍♀️

Our pages are set to $USD 💵

Each gathering is held at a different restaurant. These dinners are not directly associated with the restaurants, but are simply based on a table reservation via Opentable or Resy or other reservation platforms. The pin 📍 on the map is not the location but a placeholder since each location changes week to week, so please do not go to the pin. Locations are decided upon after coordinating with the group.

Check out our feature in Eventbrite's 2025 TRNDS report about embracing the micro-event trend.

At ticketing, select which group you’d like to meet, such as creatives, entrepreneurs, students, coffee club, cocktail club, or even the general public.

It’s a reminder that strangers became acquaintances—and sometimes friends.

No pressure.
