Valencia Street Night Market Social!

Come meet me under the string lights on Valencia to track down the best late-night bites while the smell of sizzling grills fills the evening air. We'll spend an hour doing quick, app-guided one-on-ones to break the ice, and then we'll form small groups to hit the vendor stalls together.

The Gist IRL app keeps things moving for the first part of the night, setting you up for easy, focused conversations with other locals who are always hunting for the next great meal. After an hour of rotating through these short chats, you'll choose the folks you connected with the most.

That's when the real fun begins. You'll gather your favorite matches into a solid group of four to six, and step right into the buzz of the night market. By the time we head into the crowds, you'll already have a familiar squad to share plates, swap recommendations, and taste everything the street has to offer. Whether these folks become your dedicated street food crew or this is just a fantastic evening out trying new flavors, you'll be full and happy you came.

The Plan:

- 7:00PM: Check-In. Follow the link to set up your quick profile on your phone. - 7:05PM - 9:25PM: One-on-One Rounds. The app pairs you for focused chats. Find out who shares your favorite local eats, mission street food spots, and neighborhood cravings. - 8:25PM+: Form Groups & head into the Valencia Night Market to explore the stalls and grab some food. Reconnect with your favorite matches, form groups of 4-6, and head into the Valencia Night Market to explore the stalls and grab some food — your group leaves together tonight.

Let's skip exchanging social handles and actually dive into the market to eat right now. You might just walk away with your new go-to squad for checking out local pop-ups and neighborhood food trucks. And if you want to invite them to the next foodie adventure, you can easily message everyone right through the app without ever having to trade phone numbers.
