What we’re about
You’re invited to…
Meet.
Eat.
Repeat.
We’re bringing together Durham Region residents who share a love for food and want to build meaningful friendships. 🍽️
Our meetups promise delicious meals and engaging conversations, with a rotation of local restaurants to keep things interesting. Your input for venue suggestions is not just welcome; it's encouraged!
We also host weekly Get Out! Coffee & Conversation events, perfect for those who work from home and need a refreshing midweek break with casual chats and friendly faces.
Our newest addition is the Live & Local series—featuring music and nightlife events perfectly paired with snacks or a meal.
When requesting to join, please be sure that you have your first name and a photo of yourself in your profile so that we can recognize and welcome you at our events.
If you reserve a spot, we kindly ask that you honour your commitment. Last-minute cancellations or no-shows may lead to removal from the group to ensure fairness and consideration for all members.
We can’t wait to meet you and look forward to sharing a meal soon!

- Live & Local: Market at 70 King + Classic Movie NightMarket at 70 King, Oshawa , ON
Join us and indulge in delicious food and enjoy a screening of the classic film Who Framed Roger Rabbit? 📽️
Whether you come for the laughs, the nostalgia, or just great food with good company, it's sure to be a memorable evening.
We'll be gathering at the Market at 70 King and then heading to Regent Theatre in Oshawa for the movie which starts at 7 pm. You have the option of joining us for one or both of these activities.
Please note that this is taking the place of the outdoor dinner at the Pump House, which is being rescheduled.
Important Details:
- You're welcome to join us at 6 pm at the Market, which is a multi-vendor food market.
- We'll be walking from the Market to Regent Theatre around 6:40 pm. Those who want to stay at the Market (and are not attending the movie) are welcome to hang out longer.
- For those coming to the movie, you'll need to purchase a ticket here. Admission is $7.50 Online (in advance) OR $5.00 Cash Only at Door (one hour before start time). I’d personally recommend grabbing a ticket online. We’re not sure how many people will be attending, and this way you’ll be sure to get a seat!
When reserving your spot on Meetup, please indicate whether you're attending the market, the movie, or both.
Both the market and the theatre are wheelchair accessible.
Feel free to reach out to Emily if you have any questions!
