Foodies + New Friends Monthly: Utica | Single Ladies Edition

Calling all foodies and single ladies! 🍱

Our series groups together complete strangers for a fun night out. You sign up, and we book the restaurant. Connect with other women in the city while supporting a locally owned restaurant.

Our micro-gatherings are intended to be for 6 people or less. Check out our feature in Eventbrite's 2025 TRNDS report about embracing the micro-event trend.

This is not directly associated with the restaurant of the week but rather based on a table reservation via Opentable or Resy or other online platforms. The pin 📌 on the map on Eventbrite is just a placeholder since the reservation we make ultimately depends on overall headcount closer to the date, and per the dietary preferences of the registrants based on our questionnaire after you register. Feel free to contact us with questions prior to signing up.

How does it work?

After you register, you'll be emailed an introduction message including a quick questionnaire regarding age, hobbies, interests, and dietary preferences. Our goal is to coordinate nights of 4-6 members.

*Your registration does not include your individual food and drink purchases. It ensures you commit to actually showing up, as well as contribute to our team's endeavors.

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 [email protected]!

The Ermantourage team coordinates dinners remotely from LA and Virginia. Dinners are ultimate dependent on interest level on that date.

Testimonials:

"It was so great! I will share pictures of food and if you need anywhere to share the experience! You did it better than AI! All of us were from different parts of the world, somehow having similar interests even though the age was different. Super cozy and friendly and amazing. We had one birthday (Persephone) so we gave her a cake!Thanks for hosting and looking forward to more events!" -Korina from Munich

"Hey, just wanted to give an update months later. I ended up forming a long term friend from this event and am very grateful. Thank you for helping set it up!" - Daritza from Austin
