What we’re about

Welcome to Forks Out, Friends In, a dining and friendship group created especially for women-identifying food lovers 45+ in the New Haven area!

If you love trying new restaurants, sharing good stories over a glass of wine (or tea!), and meeting like-minded women who value connection, laughter, and community, this group is for you.

We explore everything from cozy brunch spots and casual cafés to elegant dinner destinations — always with a friendly, relaxed atmosphere. Whether you’re new to the area, recently empty-nested, or just ready to expand your circle, you’ll find a warm and welcoming space here.

Come as you are, bring your appetite for conversation and cuisine, and leave with new friends and full hearts.

✨ We’re keeping this group small to ensure everyone has the chance to truly connect, feel welcome, and build genuine friendships around the table. 🍽️

Planning Kickoff: Help Shape “Forks Out, Friends In”!

Pistachio Cafe, 911 Whalley Avenue ,, New Haven , CT, US

Are you excited about “Forks Out, Friends In” and want to help shape what this group becomes? Join us for our very first Planning Kickoff!

This casual meetup is for women 45+ who’d like to play an active role in planning our dining adventures, selecting restaurants, and brainstorming creative ways to bring women together over great food and conversation.

Whether you love organizing, finding new dining spots, creating themes, or simply want to be part of the behind-the-scenes fun — your ideas are welcome!

We’ll discuss:

🍴 Types of restaurants and experiences to include (brunches, dinners, seasonal outings, etc.)
📅 How often to meet and ideal group size for reservations
💡 Fun touches like name tags, conversation starters, or themed events
💕 Ways to make everyone feel welcome and connected

Bring your enthusiasm, ideas, and appetite for collaboration — we’ll make this an enjoyable and inspiring session (with coffee, of course!).
