About this Event

When was the last time you did something completely spontaneous? Our series groups together complete strangers for a fun day out. That's right, you sign up, and we book the reservation. We know life can get busy. Don't forget to spend time making new friends! Build your community with us while supporting locally owned businesses.

Each outing is held at a different location. These gatherings are not directly associated with the restaurants, but are simply based on a table reservation via Opentable, Resy, or other platforms. The pin on the map is not the location but a placeholder since each week is different.

This micro-gathering is intended to be for 4-6 people maximum. If the day you signed up for does not hit the minimum number of signups, please be open to joining us on another day with a fuller group. 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. We'll stay in touch with you leading up to the day of the gathering.

*Your registration does not include your individual food and drink purchases.

*These outings are intended to help people make friends. These are not singles gatherings.

*If you sign up the day of, there's a risk of already reach our maximum for the day, or not having enough interest to move forward with a table reservation. Simply email [email protected] to for info prior to signing up.

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.
