A Night Out in Albany: Dinner with Strangers (June ‘25 Project)

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 do city life alone and build your community with us. This project is to host dinners in 200 cities to combat loneliness while supporting locally owned businesses.

For each day in June, we will keep the reservation at the same restaurant!

This micro-event is intended to be for 4-6 people maximum. Check out our feature in Eventbrite's 2025 TRNDS report about embracing the micro-event trend.

This gathering isn't an official event with the restaurant but rather an outing based on a table reservation.

Please see here for our coverage in Nashville Fox 17's Growing Nashville segment.

How does it work?

After you register, you'll be emailed an introduction message including a quick questionnaire regarding age, dietary restrictions, hobbies, and interests.

*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.

*If we don't meet our minimum number of registrants for the evening you sign up, please be open to joining us on another evening!

*If you sign up the day of the gathering and do not get a message from us in time, simply email ZXJtYW50b3VyYWdlaW1wYWN0IHwgZ21haWwgISBjb20=, request a refund, or please be open to joining us on another 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 ZXJtYW50b3VyYWdlaW1wYWN0IHwgZ21haWwgISBjb20=!
