Making new friends as an adult can be weirdly tough. So… we’re making it easier.
Here’s how it works:
🍽️ Take a quick quiz about your personality, interests, and food preferences.
✨ Get matched with five other Wichitans who fit your vibe (food preferences, budget, life stage, etc.).
📍 Your table of six meets for dinner on Tuesday, April 7th at 6:30 PM — the exact restaurant is revealed that morning.
🥂 After dinner, all groups are invited to a casual after-meetup to keep the conversation going.
If you’ve been wanting to meet new people in town, this might be the easiest (and most fun) way to do it.
Spots are almost full — I’d grab yours today.
