What You're Signing Up For.

  • 35–45 guests. Table number drawn at the door, not an algorithm.
  • Facilitated start to finish — no awkward snack-table small talk.
  • Hour one: games & good talk.
  • Hour two: low-stakes street exploration, with content designed by a licenced 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 application. If a gathering fits your vibe, you get a personal invitation — not a blast — and 72 hours to claim your seat.
Q: How much?
A: It varies with the activities — roughly $40–60 a night. Food and drinks are always on us.
Q: Why do you ask for my Instagram?
A: Just to confirm you're a real person. Seats are limited and we keep them for genuine applicants.
