About this event

Hey, entrepreneurs!
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 reservation. We know life can get busy. Don't forget to spend time making new friends with the same interests! Build your community with us while supporting locally owned businesses, and helping those in need.
This is our giving back edition! Please scroll to the bottom for more info.
Each outing is held at a different location. These gatherings are not directly associated with the restaurants, but are simply based on a table reservation. The pin on the map is not the location but a placeholder Eventbrite gives for the city.
This micro-event is intended to be for 4-6 people maximum. If the day you signed up for does not hit the minimum number of signups, please be open to joining us on another day with a fuller group. Check out our feature in Eventbrite's 2025 TRNDS report about embracing the micro-event trend.
Our feature on Fox 11 Los Angeles for our dinner meets.
Please see here for our coverage in Nashville Fox 17's Growing Nashville segment.
