🍽️ Wichita Life Dinner Club 🍽️

Making new friends as an adult can be weirdly tough. So… we’re making it easier.

WE ARE TRYING SOMETHING A LITTLE DIFFERENT FOR MAY!

We will have two different options for you:

1) On Tuesday, May 12th - everyone (yes, even you) should join us!

2) On Tuesday, May 19th - per multiple requests, this one will lean a little older for those age 55+ (no, we will not ID you)

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 the date you choose (either May 12th or May 19th in this case) — the exact restaurant is revealed that morning.

🥂 After dinner, all groups are invited to a casual after-meetup to keep the conversation going.

👉 Take the quiz & grab your seat ›

If you’ve been wanting to meet new people in town, this might be the easiest (and most fun) way to do it.
