About This Event

Life can be lonely when you’re always working on your passion. Take the opportunity to meet other locals over dinner! 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 locally! Build your community with us while supporting locally owned businesses. Each outing takes place at a different restaurant. These dinners are not directly associated with the restaurants, but are simply based on a table reservation via Resy, Opentable, or other sites. The pin on the map is not the location but a placeholder Eventbrite gives for the city, since we dinner is held at a new location. This micro-event is intended to be for 4-6 people. 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.
