What You're Signing Up For.

  • Small groups. Table number drawn at the door, not an algorithm.
  • Facilitated from start to finish, with no awkward snack-table small talk.
  • At the table: games & good talk.
  • On the street: low-stakes exploration, with content designed by a licensed NYC tour guide.
  • Everyone's there for the same reason.

Fine print (the honest kind)

Q: Is this a dating thing?
A: No. It's a making-friends thing.
Q: How do I get in?
A: A 2–3 minute waitlist form. If a gathering fits your vibe, you get a personal invitation rather than a mass email, with 72 hours to claim your seat.
Q: How much?
A: It varies with the activities and costs roughly $40–60 per gathering. You get the final price before you commit.
