Foodies + New Friends: Brooklyn | Young Entrepreneurs Edition at Restaurant of the Week – Brooklyn, NY

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. Don’t do city life alone and build your community with us. Our dream is to combat loneliness while supoorting locally owned businesses. We embrace the micro-event format and intend for these meetups to be for 4-6 individuals each gathering. Check us out in Eventbrite’s 2025 TRNDS report!

Check out our feature on Nashville’s Fox 17 Growing Nashville segment!

Please note this gathering isn’t an official event with the restaurant but simply an outing based on a table reservation. The pin on the map isn’t the location of the dinner but a placeholder. Each week is at a different location. Location is discussed with registrants.

You can also take a look at our main event calendar via Posh for coffee meets, evening hangouts, and more!

How does it work?

After you register, you’ll be emailed an introduction message including a quick questionnaire regarding age, dietary restrictions, hobbies, and interests.

*Your ticket does not include your individual food and drink purchases. A ticket is simply to commit you to actually showing up if you sign up (nothing worse than 4 people signing up and only 1 shows up!).

*These outings are intended to help people make friends. These are not singles 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 ermantourageimpact@gmail.com!
