NYC New In Town Meetup - Music & Food

​New to the city and eager to start building your local community?

​Come hang out with fellow New Yorkers for a fun, welcoming gathering where we'll meet new people, share current needs, swap tips, and help each other feel at home in NYC.

​Each month, we pick specific topics based on requests from the previous month. This month: live music and affordable restaurants in NYC

​This is a space to connect with new people, and help each other take action, and build the local community we want around us.

​Newcomers are risk-takers, builders, and innovators looking for belonging. When we welcome newcomers, we strengthen our communities and prevent loneliness.

​Let’s build a more connected NYC together!

​Newcomers and longtime residents of all ages and backgrounds are welcome.

​Agenda (note that we'll start promptly and finish on time)

• ​10:00am: warm welcome, introductions, current needs

• ​10:20am: small group exchanges where we share insider knowledge on the topic of the day (people, places, events, groups etc.)

• ​10:40am: group debrief and community time

• ​11:00am: event ends

​What to bring

​Your curiosity, ideas, or simply your presence and willingness to participate.
