City life can be lonely, especially when you’re surrounded by so many people. Take the opportunity to meet others hoping for new connections
About this Event

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! Why do city life alone when you can build your community with us. Embrace the awkwardness of meeting new people for the first time blindly of all interests, hobbies, and backgrounds. This project is to host dinners to combat loneliness in the modern world while supporting locally owned businesses.

This is the 20's age group edition!

Each outing, dinner is held at a different restaurant. These dinners are not directly associated with the restaurants, but are simply based on a table reservation. The pin on the map is not the location but a placeholder Eventbrite gives for the city. For safety reasons, locations are shared only with registrants.

This micro-event is intended to be for 4-6 people maximum. If the evening you signed up for does not hit the minimum number of signups, please be open to joining us on another night 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 night of the dinner. Expect a Final Details email the day of.

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

*Sign up one time, and you'll join our database to be invited to all dinners.

*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 night, 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.

If you have any more questions, please contact [email protected]!
