Looking to meet new people while exploring one of San Francisco's most vibrant neighborhoods?

Join us for the Grant Avenue Food Crawl, a social experience designed to help you make real connections with people from the Bay Area and around the world. Whether you're a local, new to the city, or just visiting for the week, this is an easy and fun way to step outside your usual circle and meet people you may never have crossed paths with otherwise.

We'll kick things off with Gistirl, an app that makes connecting with new people feel natural and comfortable. Instead of sticking with the same one or two conversations all night, you'll have the chance to meet a variety of people through a series of guided one on one chats. Over the first part of the evening, you'll rotate through ten short conversations, giving you the opportunity to discover shared interests, hear different stories, and make meaningful connections.

After we've had time to get to know one another, we'll head out into San Francisco's Chinatown for the Grant Avenue Food Crawl. Together, we'll explore bustling streets filled with food vendors, hidden bakeries, local favorites, sweet treats, music, and cultural experiences. You can stay with the larger group or branch off with people you've connected with throughout the evening.

Expect great food, interesting conversations, lots of laughter, and the chance to leave with new friendships and memorable experiences. We've had incredible turnouts in the past, and every event brings together a diverse mix of people who are open, curious, and excited to connect.

Come hungry. Come curious. Come solo or bring a friend.

You never know who you're going to meet.

Hey trivia fans,

Looking for a fun way to meet new people without the pressure of a typical networking event?

Join us for a night of conversation, laughter, and friendly competition at our Trivia Social Night.

We'll start the evening with a series of one on one conversations powered by the GIST app, making it easy to connect with people from across the Bay Area in a relaxed and welcoming environment. Whether you're coming on your own, with a friend, or you're new to San Francisco, you'll have the chance to meet a variety of people before the games begin.

After the conversation rounds, we'll form trivia teams based on the connections you've made throughout the evening. Then it's time for the main event.

Think movie clips, pop culture, music, history, random facts, and plenty of surprises along the way. This isn't about being a trivia expert. It's about having fun, working together, and sharing a few laughs with your team.

We'll keep things lighthearted, social, and beginner friendly, with a small prize for the winning team and plenty of opportunities to continue the conversations throughout the night.

The event will take place indoors, making it the perfect way to spend a cozy Friday evening. Grab a drink, order some food, meet some new people, and enjoy a night that's equal parts social gathering and game night.

Most people come solo. By the end of the night, you'll have a team to cheer with, people to grab a bite with afterward, and maybe even a few new friends.
