Connect with other 30somethings in the city, meet your next collaborator or friend, + give back! A different restaurant each gathering!
About this Event

30somethings in the city who wish to network and make new connections monthly over dinner. Join us at a different location each month!

These micro-events are intended to be for 4-8 registrants. 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 regarding food preferences, hobbies, and interests. Dinner reservations are based on headcount closer to the date, so we will stay in touch with you regarding dinner that night or having to reschedule.

*Your registration does not include your individual food and drink purchases.

All our pages are set to $USD.

*These outings are intended to help people make friends and collaborators. These are not dating gatherings.

🧍‍♂️🧍‍♀️

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]!


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 as each outing takes place at a different location. Restaurants are shared with registrants only. Feel free to contact us with questions prior to signing up.

We are dedicating a portion of registrations to our newest project, The Comeunity Project, presented by Ermantourage. THE COMEUNITY PROJECT connects loving individuals across the globe and supports each other's fundraising campaigns in times of need, and to strengthen community through meaningful local gatherings. Imagine if GoFundMe had a continued community building element! Become a member here!


(You can also become a monthly subscriber via Patreon for community gatherings not listed on this calendar, for giveaways, and to connect with both local and global members via dinners!)



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

“It was a great event, Erman - thanks -- great group, friendly environment, and a really good way to be introduced to people.... “ - Ron from NYC, dinner with creatives edition

“The organizers did a great job coordinating this event. It was a great selection of people, good vibes all around, and such a fun time. Perfect if you’re looking to connect and make new friends!” -Eden from Los Angeles

“I went in not knowing what to expect, but this ended up being such a great experience. The group was fun and easy to connect with, and the overall vibe felt very natural, not forced or awkward at all. We had great conversations, lots of laughs, and I genuinely enjoyed meeting everyone. We’ve even stayed in touch and plan to meet up again, which says a lot. Would absolutely do this again.” -Claudia from Miami
