Dinner with New Friends: Wheeling | Make Connections!

When was the last time you did something completely spontaneous? Our series groups together complete strangers for a fun night out. That's right, you sign up, and we book the restaurant. We know life can get busy. Don't forget to spend time making new friends one-on-one! Don't do life alone and build your community with us.

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

How does it work?

-After you register, you'll be emailed an introduction message including a quick questionnaire regarding age group, dietary restrictions, hobbies, and interests that we use to select restaurants for the night.

*Your registration does not include your individual food and drink purchases. A paid ticket simply makes you more committed to actually showing up.

*These outings are intended to help people make friends. These are not singles gatherings. Women will be matched with women and men will be matched with men.

*The pin on the map IS NOT the official location, but a placeholder Eventbrite gives for your city. Each dinner takes place at a different location.

*If you sign up the day of the gathering and do not get a message from us in time, simply email ermantourageimpact@gmail.com, request a refund, or please be open to joining us on another evening. If there isn't a match for the night you sign up for, we can either issue a refund or fit you in on a different evening.

Our vision is simple: we take the no gimmicks approach to networking. No need for yet another app to take up space on your phone - just four walls and a roof and good food for people to connect :) We coordinate with you directly, human-to-human.

If you have any more questions, please contact ermantourageimpact@gmail.com!
