People in New York always seem to say, "This is a tough city in which to meet people." This group was designed to make it a whole lot easier. Drinking with Strangers is about bringing people together, whether new to the area or native, and meeting up at a local bar, restaurant, or event without the formalities associated with the usual scene.
Drinking with Strangers is a place where friendly people can come out and enjoy good company with other easy-going, receptive people for drinks, eats, socializing, and making new friends.
Drinking with Strangers is free to join, and is currently a work in progress. Any suggestions or ideas are appreciated. We'll try to keep the rules to a minimum. I do have one:
Don't create an awkward environment for others. Members who are not respectful and friendly towards others will be removed from the group.
Thanks for joining; I look forward to meeting you at the next event!
This group is open for all - singles, married people, new-in-towners, and people who have been in the tri-state area for a while and are simply looking for a new group to go out with in NYC. Membership is FREE, and you only have to be friendly and fun to join!
P.S. As a thank you for joining our group, be sure to check your new member welcome email for a discount code to be used towards your first Meetup event.
