Connect with others in the city over fun food and a relaxed atmosphere at our dinner series!About this EventWhen 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. This project is to host dinners to combat loneliness while supporting locally owned businesses.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 on Eventbrite. Locations are discussed with registrants. Feel free to reach out prior to signing up to see about number of signups and proposed restaurant of the week for the date you have in mind.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 including a quick questionnaire regarding age, hobbies, and interests. We utilize your answers to guide us to a reservation at the restaurant of the week!*Your registration does not include your individual food and drink purchases.
