About the community

New York City has more social options than anywhere on earth, but paradoxically, it can be one of the loneliest cities to live in. The scale makes it hard to find a consistent, trustworthy group. Social cuts through the noise with small recurring plans built around shared interests.

Browse running groups in Central Park, yoga meetups in Prospect Park, language exchanges in Midtown, board game nights in Williamsburg, and cooking sessions in Astoria. Every plan on Social comes with a reliability layer — so the people you RSVP with are the people who actually show up.
