Foodies & New Friends: Syracuse at Restaurant of the Week – Syracuse, 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. We know life can get busy. Don’t forget to spend time making new friends in person! Don’t do city life alone and build your community with us.

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 including a quick questionnaire regarding age group, dietary restrictions, hobbies, and interests that we use to select restaurants for the night.

*Your registration does not include your individual food and drink purchases. A paid ticket simply makes you more committed to actually showing up.

*These outings are intended to help people make friends. These are not singles gatherings. Women will be matched with women and men will be matched with men.

*The pin on the map IS NOT the official location, but a placeholder Eventbrite gives for your city.

*If you sign up the day of the gathering and do not get a message from us in time, simply email ermantourageimpact@gmail.com, request a refund, or please be open to joining us on another evening. If there isn’t a match for the night you sign up for, we can either issue a refund or fit you in on a different evening.

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!
