DESCRIPTION:Happy Snail\nJoin Happy Snail on **Sunday\, September 13 at 3: 30 PM** for an easygoing afternoon of tea\, conversation\, and good compan y.\n\nThere’s no agenda and no need to know anyone beforehand. Come by y ourself\, bring a friend\, stay for twenty minutes or settle in for the af ternoon.\n\nHappy Snail is built around a pretty simple idea: **it should be easier for adults to make real friends.** We try to create spaces that are warm\, inclusive\, and genuinely welcoming—especially if you’re ne w\, shy\, coming alone\, or just tired of social events where everyone see ms to already know everyone else.\n\nYou don’t need to be especially out going. You don’t need a clever introduction. You don’t even need to dr ink tea. Just show up as you are.\n\nWe’ll make room for you. 🐌💛\n \n### What to expect\n\n🍵 Tea\, snacks\, and a relaxed atmosphere\n\n 💬 Lots of conversation and plenty of opportunities to meet new people\n \n👋 Newcomers are very welcome—many\npeople attend Happy Snail events on their own\n\n🐌 A community centered on **kindness\, empathy\, inclu sion\, and respect**\n\nSeptember in Michigan still gives us those warm af ternoons that feel like summer\, even as the first hints of fall begin cre eping in. This is our chance to linger in that in-between space for a litt le while longer.\n\n**One more sunny afternoon. One more table full of peo ple. One more cup of summer.**\n\nHope to see you there. ☀️🫖 URL;VALUE=URI:https://www.meetup.com/ann-arbor-dining-out-meetup-group/eve nts/316104916/ STATUS:CONFIRMED CREATED:20260813T195016Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260813T195016Z CLASS:PUBLIC END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:event_316105015@meetup.com SEQUENCE:1 DTSTAMP:20260905T085939Z DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20260913T183000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20260913T203000 SUMMARY:Happy Snail Dinner at Miss Kim! DESCRIPTION:Happy Snail\n**Happy Snail Dinner at Miss Kim 🐌🍗🥢**\n \nAfter **One More Cup of Summer**\, we’re keeping the evening going wit h dinner at **Miss Kim!**\n\nFor this one\, Miss Kim is putting together a **family-style shared Korean dinner specifically for our group**. Rather than everyone disappearing into a menu\, we’ll have several courses comi ng to the tables to share—which feels particularly appropriate for Happy Snail. Good food\, lots of little plates\, and a table full of people get ting to know each other. ❤️\n\n📅 **Sunday\, September 13**\n\n🕡 **6:30 PM**\n\n📍 **Miss Kim — Ann Arbor**\n\n### 🍽️ Our Planned Menu\n\n**First Course**\n\n* Smashed potatoes\n* Seasonal salad\n* Crisp broccolini with fish caramel\n* Chili crisp green beans\n\n**Second Course **\n\n* Royale-style tteokbokki\n* Street-style tteokbokki\n\n**Third Cour se**\n\n* Korean fried chicken with chili glaze and soy butter rice\n* Kor ean fried tofu with soy glaze and sesame rice\n\nYes\, we get **both kinds of tteokbokki.** This was apparently important. 😄\n\n### 💰 Price\n\ nThe shared dinner is **$50 per person**\, before **6% tax and a 20% autom atic gratuity**.\n\nThat works out to approximately **$63–64 per person total**\, before any drinks.\n\n**NOTE - Ms Kim emailed me and said it's o n one bill! This means you must Venmo me for the total! I will confirm wit h the resturant the exact number the day of!**\n\n### 🌱 Dietary Needs\n \nMiss Kim has told us that **gluten-free accommodations are relatively ea sy for them**\, and they are also working with us on a more limited accomm odation for a serious soy sensitivity. If you have an allergy or significa nt dietary restriction\, **please tell me ahead of time** so I can communi cate it to the restaurant rather than surprising the kitchen when we arriv e.\n\n### 🐌 About Happy Snail Dinners\n\nYou absolutely **do not need t o attend the tea event to come to dinner.**\nHappy Snail is about creating the kind of social space where people can actually meet one another—not a room full of established cliques where newcomers are left wondering whe re to sit.\n\nCome alone. Come with someone you met at tea. Come hungry. W e’ll figure out the tables from there.\n\nWe expect somewhere around **2 0 people**\, and Miss Kim is setting us up between their community table a nd the adjacent tables so we can still feel like one group.\n\nBecause the restaurant is preparing a shared menu for us\, **please keep your RSVP cu rrent**. If your plans change\, just update it so we can give Miss Kim an accurate count.\n\nOne more evening of summer\, a ridiculous amount of Kor ean food\, and a table full of Happy Snails.\n\n**That sounds like a prett y good Sunday. 🐌🥢💛** URL;VALUE=URI:https://www.meetup.com/ann-arbor-dining-out-meetup-group/eve nts/316105015/ STATUS:CONFIRMED CREATED:20260813T200059Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260813T200059Z CLASS:PUBLIC END:VEVENT X-ORIGINAL-URL:https://www.meetup.com/ann-arbor-dining-out-meetup-group/ev ents/ical/ X-WR-CALNAME:Happy Snail END:VCALENDAR
