What we’re about
Did you once live in New York City and now call Chicago home?
You might be a Chi-Yorker.
This group is for people who have lived in NYC and now live in Chicago and want to connect socially.
Whether you moved here last month or a decade ago, if you’ve done the NYC → Chicago migration, you’re among friends with us.
WHO THIS GROUP IS FOR:
- Former New Yorkers of all ages now living in Chicago
- People who lived in Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens, or the Bronx (Staten Island is negotiable)
- People who miss perfect bagels but are enjoying a bit more space
- Folks who love cities, culture, conversation, and belonging
- Low-stress connection making with people who know where you come from and have made a similar life choice
WHAT THIS IS NOT:
- Not a dating group
- Not really a business networking group (but if you meet your next co-founder with us, who are we to argue)
- Not a selling group (please no pitching or direct selling, but feel very free to discuss your work/business/interests)
This is a social group for real connections among people who share a love of both NYC and the Chi.
WHAT WE’LL DO:
- Cocktail/wine meetups
- Neighborhood explorations
- Art gallery evenings
- Comedy & culture nights
- Unearth hidden gem locations
- Lakefront hangs
- Food-centric gatherings (likely, pizza/bagel/hot dog debates will happen)
- Warm conversations with people who already ‘get’ your before-and-after story
Low pressure. Show up when you can. We’ll always be happy to see you.
